I was talking to a friend and she was telling me to fold my quilts on the diagonal then there would be NO creases! Something to do with the bias stretch!,, I am going to try this. Anyone else heard of this?

I've heard of it and have seen several magazine articles over the years recommending it. Most of my quilts are used daily, but I do have a couple that I've folded in a triangular fashion. It does seem to help avoid those permanent creases.

Many in my guild do this bias folding. I don't very often because many of my quilts go to workshops with me and often students want to help by refolding them after they are shown.
It seems silly to refold them all when I arrive home tired.![Embarrassment](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/redface.png)
