I usually forget to lay it out so I just throw it in the dryer for a few minutes. I use the dryer balls so it knocks it around and keeps it from bunching up too much. Has always worked fine for me.

I spritz mine with water and put it in the dryer on low for 10 minutes or so. Usually most of the wrinkles come out without having to iron it.

I use a light spraying of Wrinkle Release (eternal homage to the inventor of this glorious product-hey I have 2 adult sons that go out in the world always looking presentable because of this stuff!) and put it on guest bed or pop in the dryer for a few minutes. Makes life easier!

I have a system to remember to get it out. Before sewing on the border I get the batting out of the package and lay it out. I usually let it sit out for at least a day.

I let mine sit at least overnight if I buy the packaged batting. I'm afraid to put it into the dryer, but sometimes I iron it. Don't want those wrinkles inside my quilt!!

I too use the wrinkle release and put it in the dryer for 10 minutes or so. Works very well.

I throw it in the dryer on a low heat setting with a damp scrap piece of batting.
