JRR Question

[JPT1976]

Hello, everybody..

How is the best way to iron or press a Jelly Roll Race quilt top? I just finished and wanted to get it pressed. Should I iron the seams open or to one side? As a beginner, I am getting the sewing part down.. but still have issues with the seam pressing directions.

Thanks so much!

I just ironed mine from the right side then turned it over and ironed all seams in one direction. Good Luck

I iron them all the same direction.

Re: JRR Question

I tried to keep them all going in one direction. I don't know if that is the correct way, but it seemed to work as everything layed nicely when I quilted it. Please post a pic when you have it finished! Is this your first JRR?

I, too, iron in one direction.
