Usually when washed fabric isn't ironed it looks a little ratty and I won't want to use it.Mama24Monkeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01832450787946768683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691299483488197666.post-58321714318671169242010-05-29T04:36:04.712-07:002010-05-29T04:36:04.712-07:00I prewash sometimes and agree -it's probably b...I prewash sometimes and agree -it's probably best to take them out of the dryer before they've fully dried..it's easier to iron them that way.

If I'm pressed (whoops, pardon the pun!) for time I part fold loosely and iron later before putting away. But usually I damp dry and then 'steam' out the wrinkles.

And I think the longer you let them sit all twisted and wrinkly, the harder it'll take to iron the wrinkles out.<br /><br />So, yeah I take them out, iron them and then fold them up and put them away. Besides, it'll lay flatter if they are ironed and folded as opposed to Amber H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00896235849587919033noreply@blogger.com
