Once you do some of the wise tips given so far and it gets quilted, you shouldn't see any more creases, we hope.

You could try adding a little vinegar to your spray bottle. It should help pressing out stubborn creases.

You won't have to lower your ironing board to mattress level since your mattress would alleviate the weight/. You don't need a backache. I agree with the vinegar tip. I use it all the time.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I knew I could count on the board. I think I will combine some of your ideas. Lay it on a bed, lower my ironing board to the mattress level of that bed, use a mister, and press it face down. Thanks again to all

\I have two plywood boards 4'by60" which I lay over my two ironing boards at my correct height. I can press anything I need to on this wide surface. I store one board under my sofa cushions and the other stands behind a door in my sewing room. I have sat and repaired antique quilts, put tulle over worn blocks and generally used it for a variety of other problems.

I read somewhere that when you fold a quilt you fold it on the diagonal, this way there are no fold lines.
|
I would also suggest that if you have to fold it again before quilting it is something that I have done before. I place the batting on it and then fold, that way the fold will not be as sharp..
|
I don't have any hints but I am dying to see the quilt!
|
I would press it like explained already but I use pool noodles to wrap quilts around while waiting to be quilted so as not to get fold lines again. Works great!
