The Burning Question - Press Seams Open or To The Side???

Last night, I got an e-mail from my quilting partner, Bee/Guild member Charlene Marshall.  She is our resident Internet surfer.  She surfs through the Internet like a surfer through water; finding the most interesting sites to visit, or information on any type of quilting technique and what is happening in the quilting world.   

She has requesting that I send this question out to all my blog followers on the burning question:  “What is your preferred method of pressing seams, open or to the side?”

This was a most interesting question to me, since I started quilting I have always pressed my steam to the side because I was told that is how it was done.  And only one time, have I ever pressed my seams open because the instructions told me to.  After reading this article (sent by Charlene)   Press your quilt seams open by Mabry Benson  I think I will start pressing my seams open on some projects.

Please take a look at the article by Mabry Benson and also see this video below:
Making a Perfect Block-- Every time - YouTube .  Please send me your preferred method and why.


You know this is a early post from me.  I am still at work and wanted to get this out now since I have a church meeting tonight and if I have the time I want to get a little sewing in before hitting that lovely soft bed or minds.

So pressed with out you
