OT: does tumble drying reduce the need for ironing?

Hi,

I have recently found myself in the position of having to do my own washing
and ironing for the first time in many years.

I had been taking clothes out of the machine after the spin cycle and
hanging them straight out as I assumed this was the way to minimise creases,
but my mum informs me that tumble drying them actually results in less
creasing than hanging them out damp.

Is this really true? how does it work? what is the best strategy for
minimising my ironing workload?

Andy
