    Default Wrinkled batting

    I might be the last to know this tip.
    When batting needs ironing, spray it generously with water on both side & throw it in the dryer for 5 to 10 minutes.

    I simply throw it in the dryer with a dryer softener sheet for 10 minutes. Wrinkles (fold lines) disappear.

    I recently discovered the dryer tip myself! The end of a 40 yard roll was full of wrinkles!

    Simply toss the batting into the dryer - add nothing - and toss for 10-15 minutes. I've been doing it this way for years and never thought to share the tip.

    That's what I've been doing too. I never thought it wasn't well known to do that.

    Do you use heat or just air when you put the batting in the dryer?

    I could have used this tip yesterday. I will use the dryer next time.

    I add a damp kitchen towel.
