I do the same thing. I hate in when the iron spews out a stream of water and steam.

lol I use both at times, I also use a light starch especially on all the washed fabric to give it stability, even have used a damp pressing cloth. Sometimes you just get that one stubborn wrinkle that doesn't want to go away! LOL

I've had to many log cabins get stretched by steam irons while at retreats, etc. Tricky pressing those blocks with steam. So, my rule is no water in my iron unless I'm ironing a recently washed large piece of yard goods before cutting.

Dry iron with spray sometimes.

Both, and depends on how wrinkled the fabric is.

I use steam but after seeing this it might be better with dry iron and spray bottle

Always a dry iron and water bottle near by.

Dry iron. If I need more oomph, I spritz with water, if I need MORE oomph, I use homemade Best Press.
