Jenny Doan always says, "press to the dark side" and I always do what she says! Love her, watch all her tutorials and have learned so much. Such a fun lady.

I have pressed my seams open when this has happened to me. You said this is for doll quilts, so pressing the seams open shouldn't be a problem. After all you don't have to dolls sleeping under the quilt pulling in different directions at the same time. Good luck
