Attaching pockets. Blocking prior or no?

Do you block your pockets before attaching them? Curious to see how many of you cure the curl problems on the edges of the pockets.

nope, I figure sewing them down will cure it and when it comes to the flap I think buttoning it down works most of the time. Saying that I do favour moss stitch (seed stitch) for edgings because it doesn't really curl at all :)

favour moss stitch (seed stitch)for edgings because it doesn't really curl at all :) I'm doing a moss stitch from now on, too. This curling is going to make me :bang

Thanks, Ruth.

I'm changing my ways. Thanks to you, too!

I block when I do a pocket with a curled edge, becuase it makes it so much easier to make a nice, striaght seam on the pocket without driving myself bonkers. I figreu it takes less time to wet and pin out the pocket than it does to fight with a curling edge when I seam, LOL.

Thank you Theresa. If I don't do a seed stitch then that is what I will do. I knew you gals would come through with great advice for me.
