When you work with satin, you have to be careful when pressing the seams that it doesn't leave a double pressing line on the front of your garment. If you serge the seams, it is always better to press the serger threads flat first before you actually press the seams toward the back or center front. Here is a quick tip: as you are pressing the seam toward the center back or center front, slip an envelope between the seam and the garment and then press right over the seam moving the envelope along the seam line when pressing. This will prevent a pressing line showing on the right side of the garment from the serged or encased seam.
