I just bought a new iron from Joann's - Singer Classic Finish. It's a great iron as far as sliding on fabric and I know it's getting really hot (don't ask how I know). When I press fabric that has been folded, it looks smooth and flat and really nice. By the time I get back to using it, I can still see the fold marks. They aren't horrible, but I never had this problem before and am tempted to go back to my old iron. The only reason I got a new iron was because the old one won't shut off any more - so I have to make sure I unplug it when I'm done.....of course that doesn't always happen and then my husband would get upset thinking I was going to burn down the house. Any ideas other than spray starching everything? I hate to do that because I don't want any extra "stuff" on my quilts when I give them away, not to mention the time and cost involved.
