A friend gave me what I thought was a good hint today, about pressing all those little pieces, she said to get a good crisp press to put away my nice padded ironing board, get a board, put one layer of warm and natural on it and cover it with muslin (or anything cotton) and use it to press, it made a nice difference for me. I put it on a wood tv tray (right height) next to the sewing machine and now don't have to get up to press either.
