Default pressing batting

I just sandwiched a full bed quilt (for a full size bunk bed) that is 75X85. The twin sized batting was 72X90. I wondered if it wouldn't be close enough. I pressed it and lo and behold - it worked! Barely, but it worked. When I told a friend I had ironed the batting to make it work she said she always irons her batting. Hmmmm. Not me.. I sandwich on a full bed with a pillow top mattress - it is a bit rounded and the shape seems to help the quilt pieces to cling and drape nicely. I hand press - rub my arm and hand over each piece as I sandwich - and never saw a need to iron before.

So what do the rest of you do?
