    Question Warm & Natural -- Remove Wrinkles?

    I am using Warm & Natural in a quilt for a baby. First time using W&N. There are wrinkles in the batting where it has been folded in the packaging. Do I need to remove them before I pin the quilt top and backing to the batting? Need suggestions. Thank you.

    I open up the batting, spritz it with a spray bottle of water and add 5 wet wash clothes along with my 6 wooly balls. I put 2 damp wash clothes and 3 wooly balls in the dryer and gently lay half the batting half-way in the dryer; then I put the rest of the batting and add the damp wash cloths and the other 3 wooly balls. Shut the door and put the temperature on low for 10 minutes, then I take the batting out and shake it out and and put everything back in the dryer for another 10 minutes. Then, I either lay the batting out on my quilt room floor or hang it up on the clothes line in the basement. Works everytime.

    I deal with Hobbs 80/20 and usually I too spritz it down and throw it in the dryer with my just washed sheets and towels.

    I just throw it in the dryer about 15 minutes. It comes out fine.

    I've never bothered to get the wrinkles out and it seems to do just fine as long as it's securely basted.

    I usually lay mine out on an unused bed for a few days and let it relax. Then iron out the wrinkles with a press cloth and a med. iron. But, I think I'm going to try fluffing it with a damp cloth the next time. Thanks for the awesome suggestions.

    Even with a large piece, I just throw it in the dryer with a small damp towel.

    Spritz it lightly with water and toss it in the dryer. It should be ready in 10-15 minutes. Also, unfold it and leave it out to help it relax.

    i open it a couple days in advance and let it relax. I have a storage shelf in the basement that i hang it from. The weight tends to pull most the wrinkles out.
