I used to wash and dry in the dryer and then iron everything. Fold it all real pretty. Then I'd buy more fabric, wash, dry, iron, fold. Pretty soon I had a STASH! Then I had to re-iron everything before I could use it. I don't like to iron. So I decided to get it as soon as the dryer shuts off and fold it. Less wrinkles and I ony have to iron it once.
