Polyester and pressing...

... do not mix.  At all.  I'm working on Simplicity 2153 and having a helluva of a time trying to press this shiny polyester quilted fabric.  This stuff is THE DEVIL.  Let me tell you.  I press and clap and press and steam and press.  The fabric just bounces back out of submission.

  
Pure.  Evil.

Pressing is a necessary step that I follow religiously when sewing.  This jacket is really testing my patience - so much so that I am considering abandoning it all together.  I don't have time to be foolin' with some unruly fabric!

I had such high hopes for this too.  I bought the fabric in NYC last summer with the sole intention of making this pattern.  I bought all of the hardware, matching zipper, and everything.  Bah! 

Working with difficult fabric is a sure-fire way to send my sewjo packing.  This coat is happening, but in cotton denim instead.  

How do you handle difficult fabric?  Would you keep going?
