spritz the crease with white vinegar and it should press out.

I SPRAY MAGIC SIZING ALL DOWN THE CREASE AND IT USUALLY IRONS OUT. IF IT HAS BEEN FOLDED A LONG TIME IT IS HARD TO GET OUT.

I unfold the fabric. I wash it. I dry it.
If it's cotton, the crease is usually gone.

I think it is one of the best uses for Mary Ellen Best Press. Sometimes I've had to spray the crease until it was quite damp but it always works, IMHO.

I know that white vinegar will work to take a crease out from a hemline on garmets, as I've used it many times. I think it would most likely do the same on the fabric. It is definitely worth a try!!

I love this, too, but I only use 2 oz of vodka to 2 cups of water. 2 more ounces to drink when things don't go right. LOL
