    Hi Leah. I have a general technique question. I understand why you recommend that we press the seams open as it makes less overall bulk while FMQ. Most instructions say to press to one side to help line up the seams as you are sewing up blocks and connecting blocks, etc.

    I like the idea of pressing the seams open to reduce bulk so I was wondering if you could provide some tips for lining up the seams when pressed open and also give some tips on preventing the seam underneath from folding the wrong way while sewing over it. Maybe you already have a video on this. If so, a link to it would be most appreciated.

    BTW, I have competed piecing of the first 2 sets of blocks. The first set of blocks has the FMQ completed. The second set is marked.

    I had foot surgery on my right foot Friday 31-Jan. So no sewing since then. My goal is to get back to sewing by Friday 14-Feb. wish me luck!

    Thank Leah! I have learned so much already.
