Just learning and have question

[mamaquilt]

I've never used starch, just my steam iron. And don't press seams open because it allows the quilt batting to work it's way out. Be sure to press towards the darker fabric.

Welcome to the wonderful world of quilting and have fun with it!

Thank you Mimi for this information. I'm sewing for some years and always pressed the seams open. When starting to quilt I was taught otherwise, but nobody could tell me why the seams had to be pressed together. I understood why they had to be pressed to the darker side, but why they couldn't be pressed open.
