After all these years

I finally figured it out.

That ugly crease down the middle of the fabric, that never seems to want to be pressed away.  You know.......this one.
I decided the other day that I wasn't trying to quilt it out and I wasn't about to start washing my fabric.  I donate my quilts and that just adds another expense to the making of them.  So here is my tip of the day.
Buy yourself a spritzer.  I got mine at the dollar store.  Fill it with water.  Spritz the water all over the fabric.  Then I used my Mary Ellen's Best Press, unscented.  If you don't mind the smell of scents you can use whatever spray starch you have on hand.  I can't unfortunately use them in my house due to asthma.
After I had the fabric well spritzed, water first, then spray starch,  I folded it back up.
I put it in a plastic bag
I brought it upstairs to the fridge and left it overnight.
Next morning I went downstairs and ironed it.
Voila!!
It is ready for the long arm.  
Stay tuned for how this turns out.
