I spritz my batting with a water bottle and run it thru the dryer for about 15 minutes then hang it on a rack to dry.

How about a needle board? Mine is old and much loved. Gotten me out of a number of wrinkled troubles and protected the napped, looped, felted, thick, etc. fabrics in the process.

i suspect instructions are still included with the boards. Failing that, there're always the kind folks at Dritz or maybe a Vogue sewing book for a bail out.

It might take forever to get rid of wrinkles in some fabrics but if nothing less onerous worked, ....

in the meantime, you have our good wishes and please share with us what finally works. I am not among the most persnickety folder up-ers and putter away-ers and your research will very likely be very important.

I putt in dryer with damp towel, but if it is a large piece, I lay it out on floor and put heavy quilt on it and leave it for a few days while I work on something else. I usually have my pieced top face down, batting stretched out on top and then the heavier quilt to weight it down.

When I was a new quilter and using a poly batting, dried it and it melted in places. UGH

I unfortunately had the problem with poly batting. I made a few table runners, and pressed on cotton setting when done. the poly must have melted and shrunk and created little wrinkles in between the cross hatch stitching. So frustrating, especially since it was supposed to be 100% cotton.

I just put batting in the dryer for a few minutes on low - about 10 and take it out warm. Works every time!

When I purchase batting it is in a plastic bag. I take it out and spritz it with water and put it in the dryer for a few minutes (about 15-20). It comes out pretty unwrinkled. Please don't panic-everything always works out.
