I do press them afterwards, but I have not made any really big things in years, mostly crib quilts....

Parts of my quilts have been on the floor as I quilt or sew on the binding so I want the quilt clean and smelling good. If need be I press it lightly( I use cotton batting for this reason). :lol: :D :-D :thumbup:
