I just learned one from an Anita Solomon Grossman book which she uses when starching large quantities of fabric. I rarely startch, but I love this tip: partially dry your fabric and throw it in the fridge or better yet the freezer. Iron when you have time. Something about the coldness of the fabric makes it iron even smoother. Don't know why, but it sure works, especially when I don't have time to iron and don't want the fabric to get too dry or go sour.
I remember when I was growing up (long time ago :roll: ) that my mom sprinkled her clothes and put them in a plastic bag an put it in the fridge - and yes, the clothes did iron much easier than when we just sprinkled them and ironed them right away.
