So frustrating, but hate it even worse when it air fades on that crease

Put one tablespoon of vinegar to a cup of water in a spray bottle. Spritz the fabric and get the iron. This is terrific! I saw a demonstration at a quilt show a few years back.

Magic Sizing spray works for me to relax stubborn wrinkles and creases.

Have you tried Wrinkle Releaser (can't remember who makes it) - comes in a spray bottle? Washing and pressing when damp should also help.

I spray with wrinkle remover (more on the wrinkles) and put in dryer until dry. All the wrinkles come out. This is my new ironing hack for everything wrinkly.

Great site!

I try not to use a line that is a bit faded, like the fold in the center. Any other creases or wrinkles are gone when It is washed and dried.

I normally always use Niagra starch but I was given a sample of the Best press and now if I have difficult creases that's where I use it. I still use my Niagra for everything else.
