You never realize how much "ironing" is stretching things until you end up with a complete mess (ask me how I know!).<br />That said, with triangle squares, I like to finger press my seams open, then spray Mary Ellen's Best Press on them, and then press them open with the iron. I get much better accuracy that way, and nice, flat seams! =]Lisa Sipeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535205221573079908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714395630236930539.post-31807389631208605192011-07-22T09:49:42.602-07:002011-07-22T09:49:42.602-07:00Good to know!

I sometimes use the iron trick instead of drawing the line, but I've found that when I iron it, since it's on the bias, I sometimes end up stretching the fabric. Pressing vs. ironing is very important. Adorable quilt!Lisa Sipeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535205221573079908noreply@blogger.com
