Pressing Quilts
 

HI everyone, I am working with a panel that has been folded for several years now. Do you have any suggestions on what to do to get the wrinkles out? I used starch and that helped with 95 % of them. TIA

I would wash on gentle cycle then dry on low since it's been several years.

I would just give it an overnight soak. Sometimes I can seem to get the fold out of the middle of a piece of fabric.

There are wrinkle release products on the market, but a diluted white vinegar solution works too. Google it to get proportions.

Toss it in the dryer on low heat for 20 minutes with a damp towel.

I've heard that white vinegar in spray bottle with water--not sure of proportions though

One tablespoon of vinegar to a cup of water in a spray bottle. It's TERRIFIC!!!

Maybe try a damp towel laid over it overnight.

Love all these suggestions must remember them. Good luck

I spritz with a water/vinegar mixture. It's an amazing thing..... Just posted about it on another thread.

I use the vinegar/water spritzer also...

Sta Flo Laundry starch works as well as the more expensive stuff. Dilute to: 1 part starch to 4 or 5 parts water. Put the mixture into a spray bottle (the one you got with your expensive starch), shake well and spray away.

I can't find Sta Flo in the laundry aisle in the grocery store anymore. I had to go to Walmart to find one last week.

I use white vinegar and water to remove wrinkles.. It will also set a nice crease in pants.

I wholeheartedly agree with the vinegar and water solution! I actually keep a spray bottle filled with the mixture right next to my iron. When I am pressing fabrics it eliminates the crease in the center as well as stubborn wrinkles.
