I wash all my fabrics, and only iron when I am ready to use them. Then a bit of starch and I am off to sewing! :)
|
I typically do not iron until its ready to be cut. Batiks are the exception... they wrinkle more in the dryer and I can't bring myself to store really wrinkly fabric.
|
I don't even think I own 24 yards of fabric. Too much ADHD in me t do the same task that long... I jump around from one task to another

I agree I do the same much easier.
|
so funny to read these.My mind races about cutting and piecing fabric when I an doing dishes,etc.
|
I can't stand and do anything for an hour. The last thing I'm going to to is spend my time washing and ironing fabric and then turn around and iron it again before I cut. I iron with Best Press right before cutting.

I also iron as I go, because I starch and its hard on me to stand and twist with lower spine arthiritis which now has moved to rib cage.

i generally pre-wash, dry, fold & put away- i iron the fabric when i am getting ready to use it---see no point in having to iron it twice...also i may want to use starch before cutting & i don't store starched fabric...i did however spend a whole day one time ironing batik fat quarters...it was almost a 'zen' day- i really enjoyed just fondling, ironing, ohhing & ahhing over the beautiful fabrics- i think there was something like 20 yards of them- i haven't done any 'marathon speed ironing' or tried to break any records- i enjoy the process once in a while...generally i am just ironing as i go-

Probably not too many in one hour. lol I don't iron it til I'm ready to use it, just wash, dry, fold onto comic book boards and put into the shelf. You'll have to re-iron it before using anyway.
