I am working on a quilt with lots of half square triangles. The background fabric is one that I hand dyed years ago; I think it was a white sheet before I dyed it a mottled light blue. The problem is that some of the triangles of background fabric simply will not iron smooth and stay that way. They iron smooth then go back to very wrinkled within a few hours. Full disclosure: I live in Atlanta, and our summer humidity is awful!
Would starch help? If so, do I spray it on the dry fabric or damp? Or do I need to do something with liquid starch? (I know nothing about starch...) Any information or advice that you can give will be most appreciated! Thanks!
