    I use spray starch, it gets the wrinkles out.

    I do this as well. It has always worked for me.

    My mother used to have one when I was growing up but have not seen one in years and years and years..... :lol: might be telling my age now.

    Where can you purchase one now? Never thought about using one for quilting fabrics.

    You must be young!!! A mangle is a type of ironing roll about 3' long. It has roll of padded fabric and you bring a cover down over it that forms to the roll. I remember my girlfriend's mother having one in her kitchen when she ironed clothes. Look it up on Google and see if they have a picture of one. It was so neat!! That was about 1956 for me.

    I googled "picture of mangle" and the first picture is the one I remember.

    If a fabric wrinkles that much, I won't use it in a quilt. They'll probably never come out & I may not want that look in the finished piece.

    I find that a good misting with a spray bottle, let set a few seconds, then iron will take out most wrinkles. Occasionally there is a stubborn spot or two after the first treatment, so I repeat on those spots.
