yep, it depends

But I steam more than not!

steam is my choice too....just need to be careful to PRESS, not iron as that can stretch the fabric.

I'm a steamer. And, if that doesn't do it, bring on the starch. ;-)

converted to steamer now that I have a decent iron. I don't iron, I press. If you press and lift instead of running the iron across the fabric, I think it prevents distortion.
