It was hard for me to remember to press seams to one side when I was learning to quilt. Now I can go back to open seams and nobody can tell me I'm wrong.

So when I grew older and actually started reading quilt magazines, and they said to press seams to one side I thought.."that can't be the right way to do it!". It never made sense to me. So.
