Swirling Seam Allowances
"Swirling" seam allowances does reduce bulk at intersections. I had this little checkerboard piece that I was playing with to see if it could be done over a larger area or with more pieces.
It can - but I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

I unpick the thread to the seam line - I do not cut it - because I feel that if I cut it even with the seam line, that would "encourage" the seam to cum apart.
So - I am saying I leave 1/4 to 3/8 inches of thread on each seam that is unpicked.
