AAACK!!! Need help quickly on rag quilt seams!!
Hello everyone.. well I've just sewn the first row of blocks on my first rag quilt... Do I press seams open? to one side (this way for one row; that way for the next?) The blocks are denim/shirt material with no batting. They've been sewn together with a big "X".
Thank you for your help!!

I never press. What I do to ease the bulk is to cut the width of the seam out of each corner of every block. I find it easier to sew together that way. If you don't want to do that, just lay one seam one way & the other seam the opposite way witch will level things out. These quilts are so fun & fast going together.

Thanks everyone... I will NOT press!! :-D Now that I've had some lunch, I can start UNSEWING the first row of blocks which I sewed RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER... sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I've put a little sticky note on the machine to sew WRONG sides together!!
