I'm old fashioned, I still "iron" as well as the pressing I do with my piecing. For ironed items, spray well with whatever starch you like, (I like Niagara), roll the item tightly and stick it in the freeaer until ready to iron. Ironing is a snap, fast and srinkle free in minutes. It also works well for pressing fabrics (only I use Mary Ellen's for this). I do this on my new fabrics since I drop them off in the laundry room before they get to my studio. That way, they're always ready when I am. I used Mary Ellens at my machine side ironing area to get those good set seams as I sew.
