I can't stress enough, that if you want a professional finish to your sewing projects then you must clip your corners & curves. This will give the seam allowance room to adjust and sit flat. If you don't then it will pucker.
Here are examples for how to sew & clip corners and curves.
For the inward & outward curves, use v-notches and clip close to the seam but be very careful not to clip the stitching. Something so simple will make such as difference.
Corners
Inward Curves
Outward Curves
These are great tips...I was sewing for a while before I learnt the importance of clipping corners and curves and what a difference it makes :)
