Thanks to all that have replied. My first step is to hang the skirt in the bathroom and will try the steam process first since it's the least labor intensive, and the event I was going to display this at, has been canceled because of the incoming hurricane.
Next step will be to try higher heat and more steam/damp cloth pressing. I do have a question - the iron I have doesn't steam as well as I like (aside from burping water onto my fabric - yuk) and usually when I want steam I have a small bottle of water on hand to mist. Does anyone see a problem with this? I usually get a better coverage that the iron will manage without huge wet spots. alex On Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 2:42 PM, Martha Kelly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A hot iron with steam - absolutely, but did anybody mention a damp press > cloth?
