    I've gotten all of the signatures on my autograph quilt and know I'm supposed to "heat set" them, but how do I do that?

    Hopefully you used prewashed, without any softener or such, material and a pigma pen or something like it.

    To set, you just iron/press the piece. Then you are ready to sew.

    There are several designs for signature quilts out on the net.

    Have fun.

    use a (pressing sheet) a piece of muslin- or even a white paper towel will work- to protect your iron- and keep ink from bleeding-
    do not use steam
    press with a hot iron- lifting and placing---do not move the iron around on the ink.
