I'm glad I'm not the only one. I have lots more than 24 yards of fabric, but I can't stay at the sewing machine for an hour, let alone the boring ironing board. My mind races too much at the ironing board.

I can't stand and do anything for an hour. The last thing I'm going to to is spend my time washing and ironing fabric and then turn around and iron it again before I cut. I iron with Best Press right before cutting.

i generally pre-wash, dry, fold & put away- i iron the fabric when i am getting ready to use it---see no point in having to iron it twice...also i may want to use starch before cutting & i don't store starched fabric...i did however spend a whole day one time ironing batik fat quarters...it was almost a 'zen' day- i really enjoyed just fondling, ironing, ohhing & ahhing over the beautiful fabrics- i think there was something like 20 yards of them- i haven't done any 'marathon speed ironing' or tried to break any records- i enjoy the process once in a while...generally i am just ironing as i go-

Probably not too many in one hour. lol I don't iron it til I'm ready to use it, just wash, dry, fold onto comic book boards and put into the shelf. You'll have to re-iron it before using anyway.
