Flip the seam???
#2
It probably means to iron one row going one way and the next going the other so that when you join the rows the seams will nest together and you don't have as much bulk. Some people press seams open to cut down on bulk where the seams meet. Of course, it may mean something entirely different. Seems like everytime I turn around there's a new term or technique.

I am not sure it does mean that, i wish I could show you but I cannot load pictures yet, I think it means putting two pieces right side together, sewing the seam and then flipping one over so you now have two right sides, it is used for grandmothers fan,log cabin. One of the others will for sure be able to explain better than me, and maybe show a picture.
