sewhappy Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I very rarely wash my fabrics... When I come home from the quilt shop I want to start cutting!! If I wash the fabric then I am coming home to do the laundry!! Of corse there are some exceptions...Fabric or block exchanges and certain colors!!

Bonnie Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Its one of those personal reasons...some don't and some do...it all depends on each person. I don't.....Linda S does, because of the chemicals that bother her....we each have our reason of why and why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 There's another thread here about washing. Check that out. As Bonnie says, it's a personal choice. My favorite quilt teacher says that removing that slick fabric sizing makes your fabric "grab" better when you're doing tricky piecing (Y-seams, bias, and nesting your seams together), and I believe her. If you like the crispness of the pressing with the sizing in, then that is what you should do! Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaDay Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I had my first quilt bleeder this Christmas. My beautifullly quilted table runner was on my lovely white battenberg lace table cloth. The flower vase leaked and we didn't notice it. I had a nice pink / red spot in the middle. Thank goodness for bleach and Oxy Clean!! Treat and soaked, it luckily all came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
