I do the same!

Some fabric just won't lay flat without steam but I use no steam for most things.
|
Starch and press here too!!! I love the crispness!!
|
a lot of magic sizing here and no steam unless it is an unruly fabric and will not stay laying... then steam.
|
I use dry and starch during the construction phase. Steam after the quilt is done to freshen it up.
|
I steam my fabric before I cut it. I also steam set my seams, after mt block is completed I starch it.
|
Pressing, not ironing makes a huge difference! I use steam when I need things to behave~
|
I tend to finger press simple blocks as I sew the individual units then steam press the whole block.
|
Maybe this is why when I sew things together that seem perfectly cut, they don't end up straight! I steam a lot and probably iron rather than press.
|
I dry iron & starch when assembling the blocks. Once all the blocks are sewn into the quilt, I steam.
