[QUOTE=mike'sgirl;5340863]I have heard different opinions concerning the use of steam when piecing a quilt. I prefer to use steam, but worry that it does distort the blocks, but the iron doesn't seem to work as well without it. I am using a cheapo iron, but had the same results when I was using an expensive one.
What are some opinions out there concerning steam?
I wash all my fabric before cutting. That seems to eliminate the distortion problem but I also spray each seam as I piece with fabric sizing. So even if I iron the square after pressing the seams, there doesn't seem to be any distortion. Anyone else do this?
