I dry iron the fabric - sort of. If it's badly wrinkled, then I spray water on the fabric. The 'guidelines' of quilting are to press the fabric so it doesn't stretch. That's one guideline I ignore. I do not use starch, etc, because I am sensitive to it. Once it's on the fabric, it will break off the fabric in microscopic pieces. It seems that every one of those little pieces of starch dust head straight to my eyes and nose, and make me miserable.

Note that I am not competing for prizes when I make a quilt. I'm having fun! If you're going for show quality quilts, then press.

Otherwise, you make your own rules for your own quilts!
