Apparently along with not being able to keep a 1/4 inch seam, I can't press properly either. After I pressed my blocks they seemed to have grown. Not all over just on the corners.
I was wondering if a Steady Betty would help. They are kinda pricey but with a coupon it wouldn't be too bad. What do you that have one think?

What is a Steady Betty? I'm confused. Are you ironing or just pressing. I found out when I stopped ironing my blocks didn't grow. I use steam and do the seams first and then press to one side. Let the iron do the work and don't move it with pressure.

I have a Steady Betty and it's wonderful, however, I agree with Debra. You are ironing not pressing. I use starch and let it span in, set my seam and then just press with no side to side movement. Try that and see if it works
