    I was thinking about this today and then noticed that in my hands was Terri's IRR center. It is a large area of applique done with that wonder under stuff I think. Anyway, it is very stiff under the applique. SHe folded it and it went in the mail from Guam to TN. I pressed it and now I've wadded it up working on it, so I'll press it again, but it seems to be no problem at all....

    Okay--good! :D Mark and I found the perfect dowel for it tonight--the hanging sleeves are a bit long--but Justin can help her with that. :wink:

    I'll wait to wrap it--and it'll be fine. She does have an iron.

    sandpat--it's the stiffness that made me wonder.

    I never fold any of mine for long I always just wrinkle ...whatever way they go in a pillow case.....I saw this on Fons and Porter....this way you never set the same wrinkle and when it comes out it maybe a little wrinkly but it goes away after hanging awhile......good luck on what you decide......:-)
