Also I never put the iron directly on the batting. I only let the iron come in contact with the 100% cotton fabric I am basting to the batting.

Thankyou again K9dancer. Umm! my Yorkshire wants to have the next dance... He is a real fun dancer himself.
Hi Jen,
I wanted to emphasize the facts you stated above, as that is SO important. I, for one, set my iron on high and it stays there for the duration, which could be really bad if I used poly batting. And with cotton batting, you must be prepared for shrinkage when pressing.

I'll clear a space on my dance card for your Yorkie.
