When you have a new piece of fabric and it has been washed and ready for pressing, do you press the selvedges first? Mine always seem to come out wrinkled. Also, I have 4 l/2 yards of fabric that I am going to cut into strips for the main strip in a 3 strip pattern, if I cut the fabric into more manageable sizes, such as l yard increments, would this be okay rather than trying to wrestle with all 4 l/2 yards at once?
