creased quilted fabric

pop it back in the dryer, maybe with a damp towel. Take it out while it's still warm, and hang it over a rod or off a skirt type hanger. The worst of the creases should fall out.

However, if the creases are caused by the fabric shrinking and the batting not shrinking, that won't help (it won't hurt, either).

A water spray bottle & a warm iron will also work, to get out the smaller creases, when the quilted piece is hanging vertically. This way there's no pressure being placed on the batting. For the really stubborn creases, spray a light mist of water then run the warm iron over the area.

I use my Rowenta, held upright, as a steamer, no pressure--the iron never touches the fabric--and wrinkles fall out. Cea

Thanks all, will try steam again. it is a cotton dril, fabric both sides and robust as it is for a saddlecloth and as it is to be for a gift I would like the fabric to look as pristine as possible. Liz

Steam it while it's haning: hang the fabric up, pull gently on the bottom edge, and puff steam at it from an inch away.
