I love to hang clothes on the line but hate the sandpaper, stiff feeling. How do I get them to feel like they came out of the dryer and not so hard after coming off the clothes line?

Here's a tip... add vinegar to the rinse to soften them, or use less detergent.

Shake the heck out of them

My Aunt takes her clothes out of the washer puts them in the dryer for a few minutes and then hangs them out and her towels never feel line dried so I would assume it would work on clothes too.....

One thing I do is save laundry I want to turn out soft for a sunny but windy day. The combination of sun and wind, along with a little fabric softener, will do as well as a dryer. For example, I can hang out bed linens anytime because the stiffness helps avoid wrinkles. I save sweaters, towels, courderoy, denim and t-shirts for windy/sunny days.

YES, THAT IS A GREAT IDEAL. I AGREE WITH SHARON IN KY. THAT IS HOW I DO MY CLOTHES AND TOWELS ,I PUT THEM IN THE DRYER FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TAKE THEM OUT WHEN THEY ARE STILL WARM TO HANG THEM UP. THIS SAVES TIME OF FOLDING THEM AFTER YOU TAKE THEM OFF THE CLOTHESLINE, JUST THROW BACK INTO YOUR LAUNDRY BASKET AND PUT IN THE DRYER FOR A FEW MINUTES.

My slacks and tops are placed in the dryer briefly to dewrinkle them, and then placed on hangers and placed outside to finish drying, and most times do not even need pressed. I always use fabric softener in my last rinse.

Shake them hard both before and after hanging to dry. This really helps. I like the slightly harder finish, but if you don't there are fabric softeners that go in the washer, try using less to find how much you actually need.

Also stretch side seams, that helps keep stuff wrinkle free.

Smell the clothes. The wonderful smell of sundried laundry is worth the slight stiffness.

This probably sounds silly but I used to dry things on the line then run them through the dryer for about 5 minutes or so to soften them up.You'd never know they'd not been completely dried in a dryer.Think of the electricity saved cutting down drying time.
