I also wash with a tiny bit of Orvus soap, no wringing, roll in a towel to blot dry. I lay it out flat on a dry towel and hand fidget it into its shape be it rectangle or square. I check on it a few times in the drying. I don’t pin it. And then when completely dry I iron it. This is such a great pattern and your stitching is lovely.
