Thanks again, it's so nice to get someone elses input.

Sounds like ironing is ok.

You can iron if you'd like. I don't iron any more than necessary.

They are just going to get wrinkly again the next time I wash them! lol

I wash them, plop them in the dryer & pull them out damp. Pull them/block them to the shape I want & leave them to finish drying. Seems to work the best for me when I have used the warm & natural batting.....If I've used needlepunch, they don't look quite so "loved" when they come out of the dryer.

Sometimes I just throw in the dryer other times I let air dry. I haven't had to iron, but would if it needed it.

i think you are all wrong!!it is called pressing flattening and smoothing when it is pertaining to quilting--ironing is what you do to clothes and i hate that ---but will happily smooth quilting fabrics for hours????!!!

Same here.
