Dear Polly
If you have to slide the threads down a seam, there is either
something wrong with the machine, or the tension is wrong for the
fabric. I would have whipped my students with a blivette if they did
such a thing, Using silk thread, as Kate recommends, or pressing the
seam flat before pressing it open are the answers.

I do both: silk thread AND press flat then open. Plus a nice new needle
in the right type and size for the fabric and thread...
