I bought some, washed, dried and ironed it. It seemed ok until I sprayed the starch on it. Then I pressed it and it kind of bubbled up like the cheap cotton at JoAnn's. It became distorted and wonky like it stretched out unevenly. I was pressing it not ironing it because I didn't want it to stretch. So then I turned my iron down from cotton setting to polyester and used steam. The same thing happened when I used spray starch. So then I decided to try again with no starch and just used steam and it still got that bubbly wonky distorted look. I think it might be a very cheap blend of cotton fibers, it is a bit thin compared to the LQS fabrics, just doesn't have the same heft to it. If you hold it up to the light you can see it isn't woven very tight. I am going to buy another few yards and make a table cloth and placemats for outside by the pool. I would not use it for anything I'd want to cherish and have around for many years. For my use outside it will work just fine.
