I always press Warm & Natural before sandwiching. So far, so good!

I cut the size I want then throw in dryer on low fir 5 minutes. I get it out and start my sandwich. Works to get out wrinkles and and preshrinking.

I steam cotton batting's as they sometimes shrink a lot. If I am using a poly batting I toss it in the dryer for about 5-10 minutes. Usually takes out the worst wrinkles.

I have put batting into the clothes dryer and had some luck. However, I use a clothes steam presser. It works great, just don't get your hand in front of the steam.

I agree the batts lay so much flatter after being in the dryer for 10 - 15 minutes.
