For years I have used a steam iron, (Rowenta). Then residue started to build up inside and it started spitting out chunks so I quit using the steam and just started using it dry. If I needed to press out some stubborn wrinkles I would spritz it with water. I keep a spray bottle handy. Then I read on this QB that a lot of quilters use spray starch. I have a bottle of Best Press that I have had for a long time, but didn't really know what to do with. So, now I have been using that when I press my seams and it works like a charm. Thank you, QB, I learn so much on this site. I don't post a lot, but I do read it every day.
