You could lay it back on the table, and use a blow dryer on the creases to get them to relax. I came up with this before i joined the board for great ideas.

Put in dryer for 5+ minutes and it will smooth out

Thanks for any comments! Absolutely no problems, it's a joy to use. I have a Bernina with a stitch regulator, but I learned FMQing before getting that, and using the HQ is easier than doing FMQ on a non stitch regulator domestic because you can regulate the speed the machine goes at, put your foot right down and move the quilt according to the speed you have set.

Great tips.
Thanks. |
The Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 is my favorite batting. It does always have creases and I put it in the dryer for about 5 min. It helps, and then I smooth it when I sandwich it.

I just put mine in the dryer on low heat for about 15 min and all the wrinkles come out.
|
I hang mine in the cool damp air outside on the clothesline overnight.

If your dryer is too small, I would try steaming it.

The only thing my iron touches usually is my quilting projects. I did enough ironing when I was young and everything was made of cotton.
