I don't just remember those used "ketchup bottles" filled with water and a metal sprinkler at the top--I used them. Is that dating me or what! When I worked in the Pentagon, my roommates and I used to "freeze" our laundered laundry as well. It did ease the ironing a great deal. I never thought about doing it with quilting fabric. What great tips we get on this Board. Thanks gals.

Downy wrinkle release really helps; especially on the folded edges of fat quarters or yardage.

This is so true...

The ONLY fabric I prewash is flannel. Sometimes I'll wash a red fabric if there is a lot of it in a quilt with white, otherwise I wash the completed quilt with Color Cathers. Cuts out a lot of ironing and solves that deep set wrinkle problem.

I always iron mine while it is wet, works better keeping those wrinkles away. And I like to use spray starch also.
