The test blocks I stitched didn't seem to have any issues (and I've been known to flip a previously oriented seam allowance to the other side at the last moment when things get cranky --)Quiltdivajuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593385265961892847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-88987568485500977872014-10-12T17:53:56.918-05:002014-10-12T17:53:56.918-05:00HOLY!

When I took Victoria Findlay Wolfe's class, she recommended to let the fabric go the way it wants to when working with curved seams and iron it that way? Perhaps this will help? Your seam looks awfully good to me on this one though!

I iron the direction the fabric leans and don't force it. It'll work out. Cannot wait to see more!

Your units are looking great! I have found I can press in either direction, altho I'm currently just pressing towards the convex piece. You could try pressing both ways so you do have seams that butt up together - see how it works for you. Then let us know how it goes. ;-) This is going to be a great plaid DP!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16645436332365961388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-884682523981959232014-10-11T14:34:03.963-05:002014-10-11T14:34:03.963-05:00Wow!

A very unique and striking DP quilt!<br />I always press towards the larger outside piece. That way the curve always seems to lay quite flat.Cathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531639422553980153noreply@blogger.com
