ILoveToQuilt - really? I had never noticed that fabric wrinkles more out of the dryer. I will have to pay more attention. I will try to air dry more of my fabric and see if some of my hassles go away. I've heard what you mention about starch and bugs. I thought the starch would wash out after the first wash though, and I'm just not "neat" enough to iron an assembled quilt.
On a related note, I tested my iron tonight. Apparently the cotton setting is supposed to be about 200 - 225 C, or somewhere in the 400+ F range. My iron was testing everywhere from 150C to 255C depending on where I measured the temperature. Definite hot spot right at the center, but that's a pretty big swing. I wonder if that has anything to do with its unwillingness to remove wrinkles. It seemed like some of those really stubborn wrinkles were being more set in than anything, at close to 500F, I would think maybe they were?
slstitcher - I don't think I've ever read a bad review of BP, and yet I let it sit on my shelf waiting for me to run out of the other stuff (I still have about 1 1/4 cans left) Of course I'm going through it like there's no tomorrow on this quilt, so maybe it won't be too long after all. I agree about patterns, though I think that a 90x108" queen size is thinking about that. Even if they just specified "Full length Queen", "Bed Spread" etc. I suppose with experience I'll just "know" eventually though.
QuiltE - it's funny, we seem to avoid a lot of things because they seem expensive (Aurifil is another one I hear all the time) and yet at the end of the day, it's not as bad as it seems and with the time saved, or frustration... why do we do this to ourselves?
I've heard the Ontario winters can be pretty rough too. Yours because of moisture and ours for the lack of it. Of course a couple of years ago being the second coldest place on the planet for a day sure cut my patience for Alberta winters a lot shorter. I wouldn't complain about having to decorate palm trees for Christmas...
