Should I press to the dark side?

Transcript

Do you press seams to the dark side or do you press seams open? 

This can be a really divisive question to ask among quilters.

For me personally, most times I press seams to the dark side. The reason I do that is because then when I’m joining pieces, it makes it easier for me to line up the seams when I’m piecing.

However, there are times when I want to press seams open and there are times when I want to press seams to the light side. You can see more details about this at Thoughtful Pressing.

Most of the time I press to the dark side, but I’m not afraid to do something different if the situation requires it.
