After spraying with Fabric Sizing?
After spraying with fabric sizing, do you 'press' or 'iron'? And do you use steam or a dry iron? Been quilting for several years and just flying, or in this case quilting, by the seat of my pants. Decided to get some real answers. TIA

after all my precise cutting and stitching, it is too easy to get the block out of shape using steam and ironing. i now press with a dry iron... once all assembled, i iron with steam

Are you spraying sizing on yardage or on cut pieces, pieced blocks?
I seldom use sizing instead of starch but when I do it is on yardage, or large pieces and I iron them. I do the same with starch. I starch ( or size) fabrics before cutting so my cut pieces do not need ironing or pressing. If I am pressing blocks I Press. I use steam if I need to ( like to get many seams in a middle to flatten)
