Storing fat quarters to reduce creasing....
I was going through my drawers of fat quarters last week for a project. I have all my FQ's in a drawer by color. I fold them (and yardage that is about that same size) in half, half again then fold in half longwise and half longwise again. There they sit till I need a small piece of color. In taking them out this week and useing them... I was shocked at how much the folds had creased. If they were laying on top of each other, I can see the weight of the stack would enhance a crease, but they are "standing upwards"...fold at the top and they aren't packed in that much so I was wondering...how do you handle storing fat quarters to get the least amount of fold crease? I had to iron each one, steam, then starch, then dry press again, and a often times..the crease was gone, but where the fold was, wouldn't iron out. Yes, they had been sitting there like that for a year, but still...should they crease like that? Anyway to at least reduce the crease?
