Tips on Tuesdays -> Pressing

Hi!  I thought today would be a good day to do a tip.  I feel like I'm suddenly overflowing with them.  So here's the thing - I tell you a tip of mine, and you leave your favorite tip in the comments.  It's like take a penny, leave a penny.


Today's topic is Pressing.  Many of you have probably seen this product before.  It's about $5.  Like the label says, it's a 'starch'.  People use it prior to quilting or applique.  It helps the fabric to stay where it is by adding a little starch.  You simply spray it on and press.


BUT DID YOU KNOW... 

I discovered that applying this solution will take out ANY and ALL wrinkles in the fabric!  Even stiff batiks that have been neatly folded for a year... hand dyed fabrics that hold on to those nasty rumples.  No kidding.  I tried hot, hot steam irons, and still some wrinkles just do not budge.  I thought I'd give a spritz of Best Press and sure enough, the nasty wrinkles are gone like magic.  Isn't that cool?

Got any pressing tips?  Please leave them in the comments for everyone to share.  If you'd like to find more useful tips like this one, you can click HERE which links you at all Tips on Tuesday posts at My Sweet Prairie.  Don't forget to read through the comments!  There's a wealth of knowledge in there!  ; )

Have a wrinkle-free day,
