I buy my Warm n Natural from Joanns and I use spray to do the layering on my quilts. I have a hard time with pinning because of arthritis. My question is, my batting is always full of wrinkles and so when I spray it and then layer my top and backing onto it, I have to spend alot of time smoothing it out to get the wrinkles out. Does anyone ever iron the batting? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
No, but you can put it in the dryer! The package should have instructions. I think it involves putting it in the dryer on a low or medium heat, maybe with a wet towel. It's been awhile since I've done it, but I think that's how I did it. Just keep an eye on it and the wrinkles fall out.

I am new to quilting and to this group, but I've read that others have lightly sprayed the batting with water and used a hair dryer to get the wrinkles out. Please share which tip works for you.
Enjoy your day, SandyFromNJ

Another Sandy! Welcome to RCTQ and thanks for the tip. Got Chocolate? Newcomers should have their chocolate vetted at my Office in Virginia. Just send a pound or two (packed in ice!) to my Palace and I will taste test it, and report via email. No charge for this service! PAT, Official Chocolate Taster of RCTQ

I don't know that term, vetted?
I get the part, you want chocolate. I'm right there with you! LOL
Lately, it's been very muggy here. IF the chocolate EVER made it outside my house, it would surely melt. Ice or no ice. LOL
Thank you for the warm welcome!!!! SandyFromNJ

Kinda like "tested for approval." In this context, it means taste-tested for quality.
Vetted is a common word here.
'examine and pass fit; make careful examination of (scheme, work, candidate, etc.'
so sometimes someth>Rose is right ..."vetted" means
