I have put the batting in the dryer on lowest temperature setting for a few minutes with a dryer sheet and damp wash cloth. It makes it relax.. Hope this helps

Good question, thanks for asking. Have to try the dryer method. Usually try to lay out for a day or so, but with a small space have to keep moving it. BrendaK

Well, I wasn't patient enough to wait, and I'm glad I went ahead because it went fine and now I'm quilting today! : )

I ended up lightly spritzing it (cotton) with water, then put it in the dryer on low for just a few minutes. Came out great!

I put mine in the dryer for 10-15 minutes with a couple of damp kitchen or hand towels. They're very easy to spread out and smooth and all the hard wrinkles are gone. :)

Throw it in the dryer for a few minutes and it will relax just great. Isn't this the same as the other topic?

What do you hang it on?

Hello fellow Mainer, I also put mine in the dryer for a bit to relax any creases.
