I hand quilt but don't hand piece. The seams pressed to one side doesn't seem to bother me when I hand quilt though. In my opinion, it seems that if your hand stitches are tiny then it probably won't matter if you press them open or closed unless the seam allowance will show through your quilt top.

Hello teddysmom. That's really up to you. Since I usually go for high contrast, I press to the side of the darker fabric so it won't show through. If that isn't an issue with your fabric choices it's just fine to press open and make the quilting part easier to needle through.
