I haven't made a OH MY GOSH but I would thing you have to be pretty precise with your cutting and piecing. Wouldn't wrinkles make precision piecing harder? I know if I do a "oh heck it will do" I end up usually doing it over

i have just started useing a spray bottle with filtered water and 4 drops of lavender oil i am amazed how well the wrinkles come out--also keeps me calm [i hate ironing]

There is a product called Downey Wrinkle Releaser that is not a starch but is used just for getting rid of wrinkles. I use it all the time on stubborn wrinkles. It's sold in the laundry aisle and not expensive. It may be worth a try before you replace all that fabric.

why not try the commercial products, if you don't like them you know you can bring them back and not have to deal with any snooty LQS ladies!
Heck, if the wrinkly piece is big enough, try ALL of them and give us a consumer report! |
If you washed it all in one piece, that may have caused the twisted up dried in wrinkles. In that case I would cut it into smaller pieces that are easier to manage (like 1 yard) and rewash and dry it. Heck, maybe just cut off one yard and try it. Good luck.

This Thread is all too funny but also very informative.. LOL Thanks for the great advice and good laughs :thumbup:

I had this issue with a fabric. The only thing I found that worked was washing in 1 yard pieces and drying it with (new and clean) tennis balls in the dryer to beat it into oblivion. When it came out of the dryer it was much, much better and the best press took out the last few wrinkles that for whatever reason stayed along the selvage edge.

I've had good luck with "wrinkle releaser" - I think it's a Fabrese product.

If you don't like the fabric now, ditch it. That quilt it so intricate, don't make it harder on yourself with cruddy fabric.

I would try hand washing it in the bath tub and hanging it flat over the curtain rod until dry. See if that improves it. I would also trim a little piece off and do the burn test to check the fabric content. I don't think it will matter if wrinkled in such small prices though.
