To Press or Not to Press? How to Iron Finished Quilts
#5
I always pre wash fabric ,then iron. When the quilt is finished I wash it by hand and line dry it, I don't iron again. Try to do it on a breezy day. Doesn't get many wrinkles. I prefer a little wrinkle as it give that antique look.

I like to press my mini and small quilts when I'm finished. On large quilts, I press the binding when done with the hand stitching. I feel it gives a finished appearance especially when you give the quilt away.
