I use a dry iron and old fashioned wet starch. I mix my starch about 50/50. If I am dealing with any fullness in the block that seems to take care of it.
The starch is Sta-Flo that you can find in most laundry sections. |
I have and still use both steam and hot dry. Use a nice spray bottle when there are tough wrinkles in material. But you do need a nice firm flat surface to iron on or it does sink and won't come out like you want.

I use steam and a very hot iron - gotta tame those fabrics! Also use Mary Ellen's Best Press...better than sliced bread! No flakes, no residue on your iron, just crispy edges!

Most of the time I use steam and/or Mary Ellen's Best Press. It makes the seams lay nice and flat, you just have to be careful not to stretch the material when you press the seams.

I use steam. It makes the seams more crisp, and it sets the stitches.

Well i used to mist with a spray bottle but the guys ruined my iron and now I have a new one with steam!
