Default wrinkled fabric

The last 2 times that I've been to my LQS, the fabric I bought has been wrinkled.
Even with washing and steam, some of the wrinkles are still noticeable.

Have any of you had this problem?
Is there a way to get these stubborn wrinkles to disappear?


I know she is finding it difficult to keep her shop open and I like to buy from her whenever possible.
Last time it was so wrinkled that I just cut out that area...only a small piece but still it irked me that I couldn't use it in my quilt.

Should I mention this to the cutter? If I see these wrinkled areas while she's cutting, should I ask that cut a better piece or would that be nitpicking?

Edited to say that I washed in cold water....would hot water have been a better choice?

Thanks.
