I tried to steam and iron mine, but I can still see where the folds were. Do you wash and dry the linen before using it? And, when you are finished, do you iron again or? Thanks so much for your help, as always. Joan in FL

While damp roll it loosely in a towel and pop it into the freezer. You can leave it in there for however long you'd like. When you pull it out, let it set a few minutes, carefully unroll and iron as usual. I haven't tried it, but if the wrinkles are really deep, it might be worth a try. Sue in VA Believe in Yourself

Fold lines generally will be stretched out when the piece is framed, wrinkles can be lessened by an iron from the back of the piece....no steam! Kathy My Webshots My Blog
