i press the heck out of mine during the quilting. it helps me find the spots that don't lay flat naturally so i can take the sledge hammer to 'em in hopes of making them cooperate.
i sometimes press/iron them after they've been washed, too. i know they don't stay that way, but i like how crisp and fanch-shmancy they look right after pressing.
this from a woman who rarely makes the bed because i'll just use it again real soon. go figure. :roll: :lol:

Some people are highly sensitive to it.
I've heard RUMOURS (don't know if this is really true or not) that it is harmful to pets.

to wander off-topic a bit ... i use a generic version of febreeze. doesn't bother my dogs at all. (of course i don't pour it directly into their water bowls so ... :lol: )
believe it or not, i also use it on my hair. gives it body and shine; helps it hold a curl if i spray it on before blow drying; and smells great.
just a little factoid to file away. :wink:

I use Fabreeze ALL the time in this house. People are always burning something and they put plastic in the fires when they burn. The smell/smoke comes right towards my house and the smell gets inside. So, out comes the Fabreeze. I use it daily just because I like the smell.
Yes, Patrice,,,I agree with you. Why make the bed when you are going to get back into it and mess it up!!

Bearisgray, (and others with pets), I had asked our vet about Febreeze (sp) once, and he said do not use it around dogs and cats. I wish I could use it, I have heard that it smells really nice.
