I have been up and down the ladder today hanging a bunch of drapes and finally have the pins set just right and now I see that they are still wrinkled. I hate to take them down and iron them...they have a lot of acetate in them and they will stretch with the iron...

At the end of the month the rest of our belongings will get here, and I own a fabric steamer...or I DID if it didn't give it to GoodWill...

So I wonder if I could borrow one from any of you kind people? I promise I wouldn't keep it for more than 24 hours.

Thank you for your kind offers. SwimDawg said to get her new iron...it has a steamer on it. I bet mine does too.

Please keep in mind the color of my hair and forgive me for being so.....:shocked: blonde.

Gracie---my new curtains also have acetate in the backing. Just let them hang for awhile. About 2/3 of my wrinkles are gone after a week. I will give it another week and if it still needs steaming I will use my hand held steamer, not a steam iron. If you want to borrown the steamer, you won't have to take the curtains down to steam them.
