I have also heard of putting a roll of tissue paper at the "crease" when you fold it to soften the crease.<BR/>Hugs<BR/>laurieLauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647445887140085913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22312109.post-1143261441339468412006-03-24T20:37:00.000-08:002006-03-24T20:37:00.000-08:00Thanks for the suggestions.

There is no way I could track down all the quilts I have made. Now I know better and usually get a pic while the label is hot off the press with the last stitch having just been put in.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11243644854761363185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22312109.post-1143225461162048672006-03-24T10:37:00.000-08:002006-03-24T10:37:00.000-08:00That's a great first quilt.

That way they wouldn't get a creases. If you put too much weight on them - it makes them worse, so try not to stack things on top of them - maybe a seperate shelf for each quilt - maybe you could roll the bigger quilts around pillows or something.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/><BR/>EvelynEvelyn aka Starfishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025353776081066815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22312109.post-1143218008238965582006-03-24T08:33:00.000-08:002006-03-24T08:33:00.000-08:00Your first quilt is beautiful!
