    I toss mine in the dryer on the "wrinkle release" cycle. Works great no matter how big the batting is.

    I actually preWash my W&N batting in the washer and dryer to preshrink it. Comes out just fine right out of the dryer.

    There's instructions for pre-soaking the batting on the package. That always worked for me.

    I have been of the same mindset as Rob (Post #5) but recently read an QB article regarding prewashing fabric and batting. I might try both on my next baby quilt.

    I use Hobbs also. Throw it in the dryer for a few minutes, comes out great.

    I have W&N on a roll but sometimes still have to deal with the crease in the center. But like Rob, I don't worry about it. When sandwiching, I use big binder clips to hold everything together on my table top and just smooth out any wrinkles along the way. Once basted, never even notice.

    I just use it straight out of the package. Smooth out the creases with my hand. I glue baste with Elmer's school glue. Drizzle it on in a zig zag fashion and put the backing or quilt front over it and smooth it down with my hand. Quilt away to my heart's content. Never had a problem with the creases showing and you can't feel them so I assume they are gone.

    I have never had a problem with the wrinkles. Once it is basted and quilted they disappear.

    Lots of ways written here to change the wrinkles - personally, I just use it right out of the package, as long as it's all basted enough before quilting, I've never had any issues when hand quilting.

    Same here...no prob no matter if hand or machine quilting. Why make extra work for yourself?
