I put in dryer on low heat or fluff. No wrinkles at all.

If you have the steam feature on your dryer, it worked great on my king sized batting. I steamed it for 15 minutes, then a light dry for 10 minutes. When I took it out it was very nice and unwrinkled.
|
I buy on the roll also. I cut what I need and spread it out on my dining room table with a vinyl padded tablecloth underneath it. I fill my 400 hole steam iron, hold the iron about 4-6 inches away from the batting, and hit it with a shot of steam. Like magic, the batting puffs up and the wrinkles are removed. I move the iron along the whole piece until wrinkles are gone, never touching the batting with the iron itself. It's fast and produces great results. I leave the batting sit on the table to make sure any moisture is dried from it before I place my quilt top and backing on it.
|
I usually load my backing and bat the night before I plan to quilt. I'll spray the batting, especially the creases, and roll back and forth. then I lay out the bat and if need be, give it a spray of water and let it lay/hang over the edge. almost always by the time I get ready to quilt the wrinkles are gone. I've not had good luck washing and drying a bat. Have not tried just putting into dryer with wet towel.
|
If you put it in the dryer spray it with water first so that it damp. That will help the wrinkles come out.
|
You say it's poly and that's what I use also. Yes, those tend to get wadded around the roll toward the end. When I'm coming to that place on the roll, I unroll it and straighten it out, replace it on the roll and by the time I need the next length it has relaxed.
|
I just threw mine into a dryer with a damp wash cloth for a few minutes. If it's 100% polyester make sure your dryer is on lowest setting. Often you can just spread polyester batting across a bed, spritz it with warm water, smooth it out and it dries in no time. I did that with some polyester and had ceiling fan on. Worked great.

The dryer trick with a damp towel has seen me through every time. All the best as you finish your project.

And, I would not use a very warm heat! A very gentle drying please.
