Re: [h-cost] ironing washed linen--warning

[E House]

Please be warned--ironing wet or even just damp linen stretches it out a 
LOT.  This can have all sorts of annoying effects if you plan to make/have 
made a fitted or supportive garment out of it, or if it's being used as a 
lining for wool, or if you don't want to have to iron the garment EVERY 
SINGLE TIME before wearing it to keep the seams from puckering horribly.

Voice of experience, in case you couldn't tell...
