How do we eliminate the wrinkles due to stuffing in pouch ?

I tried to fold it along the original lines smoothing the material, and then turned the pocket inside out over the folded backpack material....still a little lumpy but very packable, which is what I wanted.

I didn't l have any problem getting original wrinkles out. They were the ones from being folded. I have used them once for a large dinner at my home. Had lipstick stains and they came out fine. I am very satisfied with this product.

i soaked fabric until sulky was lifting off, and then worked it out of the tight areas. I'd be concerned about the felt. YOu for sure would have to dry and block the faces after soaking them!

I just used a full sized silicon cover and folded it under and taped it to keep the wrinkles out. Good luck.

I have done that. One side is flocked and the other side is not. That is true side I ironed on. Low heat and it took the wrinkles right put.

I don't worry about wrinkly ends. But, you could cut the bacon in half before cooking to avoid the problem. We use ours in a skillet small enough that the press covers nearly the entire bottom, so to us, it's fine.

I put a piece of masking tape on them and write on that or regular scotch tape. It works great and rubbing alcoholGets any residue off the plastic pouch!

I'm sorry, it's still in packaging and haven't taken it out. Unkn about the wrinkling.

If you are going to iron it, you should put a couple of pieces of fabric between it and the iron and use a light steam. I think I will do that too to get rid of the fold marks. Then instead of folding it, roll it over a paper towel roller.

You're welcome. You may have read this elsewhere, but if you buy one I would strongly suggest some type of homemade cover for it as the product has nylon (or something like it) in the cover and it will pill in short order. Besides preventing it from looking old before its time, adding your own cover (section of an old pillowcase or such) will keep body oils off the unit which can produce hot spots and cause bursting when you heat it, so I've read.

Leslie, I have had mine for about a year and I didn't notice these helping with your issue. I will say I wasn't impressed with this product for cutting down my drying time either, but maybe a slight improvement for less wrinkles. If you try these, I hope you have better luck with them than I have had.

Yes, a bit. To prevent total wrinkling, take them out of dryer (not too hot a dryer) and fold immediately. Or....best is to line dry.they will look 'less polished'....but once you've slept on linen sheets, you won't want any other kind. I LOVE mine!! I got mine from http://www.sofiaslinen.com/

Yep, that would help keep things flat and wrinkle free! Just be sure to leave pillow case unzipped (if it zips) so that the air can escape easily as you vacuum and compress the Space Bag.

I just dry it on low, take it out right away and get it on the bed. Any wrinkles smooth out fairly quickly.

It is supposed to have a crinkle effect to the fabric. I threw mine in the dryer on low for 15 minutes with a damp wash cloth to remove the creases from the packaging.

I agree with you there... I spent aboutique a hr with a heat gun or you can use a good hair dryer and slowly heat and smooth each plastic panel out...just be careful not to get the plastic too hot where you melt it....it took the majority of the wrinkles out..but it takes a long time.. good luck

You fill the bag with shredded fabric... anything without buttons, buckles or zippers will work, I tried to stick to cotton, as it compresses well. I was able to reuse the stuffing from an old bag for about half of my filling, so that's an option as well. Many times if you look, old punching bags can be had for just a few bucks, if you don't want to go to the trouble of scavenging rags. Here's a decent video from YouTube on how to fill the bag - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLGddvvvAIk. The nice thing about filling your own is that you can make it as hard or soft as you want. Many people also get a remnant of some decent foam carpet pad and curl it into a tube that they slip inside the whole length of the bag. Then the rest of the padding goes inside the foam tube insert. The foam roll makes for a nice, smooth striking surface so you don't get hard spots. If you want to add a bit more weight, freezer baggies filled with play sand and then completely duct-taped can be dumped down the center of the bag, you likely won't need many, a bag this size gets heavy in a hurry as you pack the stuffing down. This is a good sturdy bag - waaaaay better than my old Everlast that cost a bit more. It's a bit of work to stuff it, but way worth it if you use a bag often. Hope that helps.
