Madonna from Mad B's was a wonder guest speaker and gave us lots of tips on pressing.
There were many in the group who will admit we love the hissing sound when our steam irons heat up the water puddles on our quilts to get out the wrinkles.
Her big advice was to stop drowning your fabric with water and pushing it out of shape. Do not use steam and to even not put water in your iron. Lightly spray and use your hand to get the water into the fabric and let the wrinkle disappear.
Next meeting on 9/4
Treadle sewing machines-Gary Rait will give us history on the treadle sewing machines and show how he restores machines to working order. He is a wonderful craftsman.
