I have dried pieces as long as 5 yards with no tangling. I could not believe how well it work. I use a very heavy dish towel even in full loads of fabric, and it has worked every time.<br />I'm a little strange I know but, I like ironing fabric. I use unscented detergent and dryer sheets, but enjoy the smell of warm cotton. I do wish I had a big board. I tried to get my husband to attach one to the wall that would fold down when I need it, and it had to have a space for the fabric to slip over the edge and hang free over the back for when I'm ironing yardage. that may have been the deal breaker, lol.debbie mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13500909471875374939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13578815.post-64492849869235475102010-09-14T12:25:07.670+01:002010-09-14T12:25:07.670+01:00Bonnie was here in Pgh in July and I'm working...Bonnie was here in Pgh in July and I'm working on the crabapple tree blocks too!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575475759307565778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13578815.post-42823874850746531792010-09-13T15:32:22.258+01:002010-09-13T15:32:22.258+01:00Love the pumpkin quilt!Love the pumpkin quilt!Nineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09888930053826285866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13578815.post-64871929631137413932010-09-12T18:49:33.605+01:002010-09-12T18:49:33.605+01:00I love your pumpkins Sio- The quilt is so autumn l...I love your pumpkins Sio- The quilt is so autumn looking- love the colors-I am sure your friend will be thrilled with it.<br />Happy ironing- what a big job..<br />Regards,<br />Annaquiltmom annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976120921532056369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13578815.post-4688345017646791182010-09-12T14:31:13.173+01:002010-09-12T14:31:13.173+01:00Oh friend, what fun you have going on.

I'm with you on backings but mine are pieced so there is a lot of back and forth to the ironing board, just as heavy!<br /><br />Pumplins and leave, huh?
