    I just today had to deal with a really hard crease in a piece of fabric being made into kitchen curtains. I take a wash cloth, run it under water, squeeze it just until it's not dripping. Then rub it along the crease and press it. I then give it one shot of Best Press.

    Put the fabric in the freezer and let it freeze. Then take out and take to ironing board and iron. That should do it.

    Wow what wonderful suggestions. The only thing I'd ever tried was vinegar and it did work.

    WOW!
    This did not know! Great tips!
    I used vinegar to wash cloth and avoid rubbing off! Now I use hot water and salt!
    Thanks for all the data!
    A hug!

    I use Downy Wrinkle Releaser. Spray it on, let sit a few seconds and then iron. If you prewash your fabric open it up and don't iron that crease back in just finger press. If you don't prewash just open up use this product all the way down and then fold and finger press, not iron hard down. Works for me anyway.

    This block will be used on a crib bumper. Do you think the vinegar smell will stay on the fabric. I guess it will have to be washed? I think I would have to hand wash the block then put the bumper together.
    White Vinegar dissapates. We used this all of the time in the garment industry. It works quite well for closing needle holes too. (They suck up like if you were to eat a lemon).

    I use white vinegar to help creases stay longer when putting creases in slacks, etc.
