Who among my quilting friends with hot irons at the ready iron crinkled money?

Never thought of ironing money, but I did iron my homework when I was in school. It made the pages look much nicer, and I thought it would garner a better grade! No torn edges, no wrinkles or turned-down corners. Must have worked. I had a great GPA! OH! I have ironed tissue paper to re-use it in gift bags. :-)

ME! I'm one of them. I even laundry them if they look and feel really dirty. Then spray 'em with Best Press (for smell) and iron them flat. I really don't like handling dirty or torn money..It gets spent first!
