My attempt at 'pre-shrinking' the interfacing! Then go ahead and iron it on as usual. It SEEMS to go better with way less wrinkling that way, anyway...Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407068977942339101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100500218153792090.post-36563515597244416532009-01-19T08:41:00.000+11:002009-01-19T08:41:00.000+11:00Yep, I have done that too!

I too always have the iron on full bore with plenty of steam (could explain why I get those wrinkles more often than I'd like...) - love the fabric by the way and I don't seem to have any of it in my stash.

It is pickier than my two year olds.
