Steam here, only because I was told you had to use steam. :shock: It works for me :P

yep, it depends

But I steam more than not!

steam is my choice too....just need to be careful to PRESS, not iron as that can stretch the fabric.

Steam that puppy into submission!

Both, but sometimes steam.

I'm a steamer. And, if that doesn't do it, bring on the starch. ;-)

converted to steamer now that I have a decent iron. I don't iron, I press. If you press and lift instead of running the iron across the fabric, I think it prevents distortion.
