Hi, I use lot of steam and bursts of steam; am always filling the iron. My fabric has lots of wrinkles because: plan to organize fabric some day but as usual not today. Really bad center crease gets a squirt of iron water. Have the special ironing sprays but only tend to use if going to embroider and need firmer fabric. Try to press down rather than across but... This may be why my washed quilts shrink.

I tend to use steam more often than not. I had less problems with stretching bias using steam than with a dry iron.

Years ago somebody told me that you can pre-shrink your fabric by steam ironing. Gets the wrinkles out and is easier than washing because nothing unravels. I do believe this works, although I also use a spray bottle for the really stubborn wrinkles and seams.

I don't put water into my irons. I keep a water bottle on the end of my ironing board if my fabric needs a little spritz.

dry iron and when needed i use best press ... really helps to stablize bias edges :thumbup:

Dry iron.

I spritz with water from a spray bottle if I want to steam something.

I use a dry iron when I'm making the quilt top. When I am finished I use Best Press to give it a final touch.

I love Best Spray. I found it while on retreat in March. It works great!
