I have read if you press the seam to the side first it will be easier to open--yeah right--didn't quite work for me.

Finger press the seams to open them up. Then press. It's not a perfect method, but generally works well.

I use the ironing stick . . stitch stick? I forget what it is called. It Spares the fingers

I use jewelry tweezers with long handles. They're easy because you can open the seam as you go. They're curved on the end. As far as nails go I have to trim mine every 2 weeks. Have always found it gross to chew nails. So many do that then go to shake someone's hands. aaackkk!!

I usually finger press. However, if I have a bunch to do, I use my small spade shaped applique iron.....
