I do not know if it might stain your fabric, but there is an old time remedy that speaks of moistening the fold with white vinegar which is applied with a rough wash cloth,,,then press it gently while it is still damp. I have had some luck doing this in the past.

Subject: [h-cost] folds in silk taffeta


I have started to embroider a new custom made waistcoat.
I received the silk taffeta it is going to be made from about 1 year ago. It was folded down into a little square. Today i prepared it to be patterned with the embroidery, steam ironed it on both sides, but the folds are still visible. Is there a chance that those folds will disappear in time? Maybe when i stretch it to my embroidery frame?
