Batting issue
#1
I was wondering if there is a way to smooth batting before it is put in the "quilt sandwich." I am trying to put together the three layers of a quilt but the batting is kinda bunched or rippled in the middle of the quilt and no matter how much I hand smooth it the bulk will not smooth. Any suggestions short of using an iron on it. It's a lightweight polyester batting that came rolled in a bag. Thanks for any help.

I put some in the dryer recently, and it increased the loft of the batting. I didnt like it, and started over with new batting.
Didn't I read a tip on the board recently to use a hair dryer on low heat? I was going to try that next time.
