Be careful if you iron it. It has something in it (contrary to what they say it is not 100% cotton) that seems like it sticks to my iron.

This has never been a problem for me. Did you buy it off a roll?

Gale is right about the pressing, but if you put a piece of cloth on top, that should help press it.

I buy my warm and natural in bags by size, not on a roll and I get the sticking to the iron thingy too.

You shouldn't iron your batting. It crushes the loft. Throw it in the dryer for 10 minutes. It's then ready to layer.

Try the dryer, it was for polyester batting, all I ever use. Use low 5-10 minutes should do it.

There is some shrinkage, minimal(3% according to the manufacturer), so if you don't want an antique look after washing you need to presoak your batting. Check the Warm Company website for instructions.

You're right. I have had to iron some wadded up stuff for little projects though. Didn't make sense to put it in the dryer. Really little stuff ;-)

I throw mine in the dryer - on air dry - with a damp cloth for about 10 minutes. I have to do this every time I load a quilt on the frame, before I load the batting, and it works great.

I spritz it with water and toss it in the dryer. It's much easier than ironing and comes out smooth enough for me.

Yeap this is what I do. It turns out great. :thumbup:
