Pressing Advice Anyone?
#1
I just love those Moda jelly rolls, honey buns, charm packs and layer cakes. Everytime I press seams on a project using the 1.5 or 2.5 inch strips - I am stretching the fabric. I had previously read that sewing from the opposite direction each time you add a strip would help keep the strips from stretching or waving. One other direction said to press the seams for the front of bag toward the top and then the seams for the back down. So far, at least, both items that I stretched were bags and I didn't ruin a quilt. Can anyone out there give me some sage pressing advice so I don't sacrifice any more of my beloved Moda? Thanks!

I starch the heck out of them before I cut, and then press and starch after seaming. So they are a little stiff, but the little devils stay where they are supposed to, and I don't have bias problems with things like the friendship braid.
