Batting wrinkles
How do you get the wrinkles out of your batting before you baste? I am using Hobbs 80/20 prepackaged batting. I always lay my batting out flat for a day or two before I use it but that never seems to get all the creases out. Thanks!

Hobbs batting in the package is notorious for so many wrinkles, it looks like one of those old fashion drapes that were in front of the screen at the movie theaters, you know the ones that had those scallops pleats. I always just lightly sprayed the batting and put it into to tumble dry with no heat. It always worked like a charm.

I either toss it in the dryer with a damp towel for a few minutes, or if the dryer is in use (which happens a LOT in this house chock full 'o boys) and I can't wait, I'll steam the batting with my iron. I don't iron it, I just hold the iron above the batting and steam it.
