Thank you so much for your input, Will try out the tipps asap and a coworker today told me to do rechere on Echtes Krauseminzwasser - Aqua menthae crispae which is said to be a very good help with old hems to iron out. If I find a working solution for my fabric I will let you know.*** to all
20463Have you tried Mary Ellen's Best Pressed? I get that at my fabric store or Walmart (love the smell).

6057When I was a little girl (back when the dinosaurs roamed. We all wore cotton dresses and my job on ironing day was to liberally sprinkle items and roll them up to dampen all over while mom ironed.. By the time she got around to the items they ironed out pretty well.
I still do this on occasion and it works.

Yes, and in the South, we put the damp items in a plastic bag in the refrigerator so that wouldn't get a mildew odor.

Oh my, I hadn't thought about the sprinkler top that fit on a soda bottle in years that mom would use to sprinkle (dampen) the clothes before putting in the refrigerator or freezer (if she thought she wasn't going to get to things right away.)
10852it will be a answer i am waiting for because that wiil be one to remember i have treid a few ways and could not find a answer lol
1969When I was a very young girl (many, many years ago) and my mother needed to lengthen the hem in my cotton dresses, here is the trick she used to remove the crease from the old hem. Dampen the crease with white vinegar and use a brown paper grocery bag as a pressing cloth and iron until dry. Of course, you then have to launder again to remove the vinegar smell.

I have just hung outside and the scent goes away on a windy day, I don't mind the smell of vinegar. :-)

Vinegar was also used to put a crease in pants legs ... back in the days of dino's.

Thank you, we will see if the fabric goes in this categorie after trying all the good tips here
7854Just a thought - is it perhaps meant to have permanent wrinkles??
253107When still damp, saturate with a spray starch or put liquid starch in the rinse cycle and iron while damp on highest heat with steam.

May I ask how much you put in the rinse cycle? I did not know it could be put into the actual washer cool. I have never tried either of these methods, but I'm game. Thank you. :-)
158553Maybe an ironing spray if all else fails?
23163Try washing it and see if that helps. Take it out of the dryer while still damp and ion it. If you have a clothes line, hang it to dry after washing it. Hopefully, there will be others along with other ideas. I hope you find something that helps.
