No steam.

Depends on which iron I'm using and where I am in the process. If I'm using my small travel iron beside my machine, no steam. If I'm using my big iron to press the quilt top, then I use steam to really set those seams before quilting.

Guess it is up to the individual... Sometimes I steam sometimes I don't...

My iron makes the decision for me. It was dropped off the ironing board and gets really angry at me some times and it just decides not to steam even though the steam is on.

So I would say YES I steam! However I do not move the iron while it is touching the fabric. press down lift up move press down lift up move....

I do whatever trips my trigger. HA

Yes, they distort but I can not lay off the steam. I like my seams flat. Besure to press/set the seam and not iron, move the iron across the seams.

I can't decide!! I steam one day, then the next day I don't. No rhythm or reason!!!

If there are lots of wrinkles in a piece that has been folded for a long time, I use steam and starch!!
