Does everyone do this? I was doing this tonight on 6 yards of backing for a twin quilt and it felt like it was taking forever when all I want to do is sandwich and start quilting :)
eveything should always be ironed, I was once told 'for every seams sewn, a press was needed'. Ironing the backing ensures that your fabric will not have any wrinkles, I throw mine in the dryer for serveral min with a damp hand towel then press while still damp and warm seem to help.
