If you have a suitable child in your life they love ironing flat pieces of fabric, (although, with a bag that size, you might need a few children to volunteer :-))

I remember once my grandmother let me and my sister starch and press stacks and stacks of her scraps. We had fun.

Why press? Won't they just get wrinkled again when you put them away? I'd be inclined to smoothe them by hand as i put them away and press when I get ready to use them.

I am doing it now. I have a short stack ironed and I cut squares and strips until my back hurts. Then I have a bin full that needs to be ironed. Good luck.
