Yes, a little, at least the way I do it. I use my kitchen island and use a big house painting brush. Sometimes I saturate both sides of the fabric. After that, I just roll up the fabric and let it sit until I'm ready to toss it in the dryer. I have some old towels that I can use to mop up any excess so the stuff doesn't get on the floor.
Others might be neater than I am. Mostly I am going for speed, especially since clean-up is so easy.
If you're vigilant, you may be able to get your fabric out of the dryer while it is still slightly damp. Mine usually comes out crumpled up and stiff as lightweight cardboard, but it irons up beautifully with steam.
