This is my first time posting and I have run into a problem that I need help with. I purchased 4 patterns from a local thrift store and I found a couple of sheets have been wrinkled right on the cut line. Is there a way that I can straighten them out? I thought about using my iron, but I was worried it might damage the pattern because the pattern material is thin. I hope someone out here can help.
Thanks.
Yes, just do it on a moderate heat and without steam. I iron paper patterns all the time.
I do too. The tissue paper will be just fine. I always iron paper patterns before I use them. There are always, always wrinkles that could change where the cutting line should fall.

I have always ironed paper patterns as well. Because I iron them on the wrong side, I use a sheet of tissue paper on the ironing board to prevent ink from the paper running onto the board cover. Emily
