I would like to know how you do yourbatiks. Promise I won't choke. I throw mine in hot water, normal cycle, then after spraying with water and vinegar spritz, toss into the dryer with other fabric.

The trick to not getting wrinkles is to have enough 'stuff' in that the dryer isn't overcrowded, but enough so that things don't just 'clump' as they dry. So I added a bath towel and the fabric came out great. I don't add starch until ready to use....as it draws silverfish. Yucky little things. But you need to figure out your way. People on here would choke on their tea/coffee if I told How I do batiks. Do what works for you. Experiment until you are happy with the results.
