I had found some old pieces of fabric that were in bags from my friends attic which was her grand-mothers. It's in good shape I think, and it's the scraps that were from clothes and other things that she made. I would like to try and make a quilt from them there is one thing I'm having problems with Wrinkles. I washed the fabric and ironed them after they had dried and alot of the wrinkles are still there. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of them please.

Hmmm I wonder if you had ironed them when they weren't totally dried.
Have you tried a piece of paper and sprinkle water on the paper and press? That is how my mom would get the wrinkles out. Let us know what works! Best wishes. |
Although I've never tried it on quilt fabric, I use a wrinkle realeaser spray found in the laundry aisle at the grocery store. The brand I happen to have is Downey but I have tried others and they work pretty well.

If it is still made Downy has a product calle Wrinkle Releaser. It comes in a spray bottle. It works great to get out ironed in wrinkles and the fold line from bolt fabric.

I'll have to try this as these wrinkles are even hard to get out with the steam. I really don't want to completely wash all of these again. Thank You for your information. I just think this bunch of friends on here are Great!! when you need help someone is there to the rescue. Have a wonderful day.

I'll pass along a old trick my grandmother used. She sprinkled the wrinkled fabric with water until it was all damp and then she rolled it loosely, sealed it in a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator overnight and ironed it the next day.
