I may be wrong but I think the new ric rac is poly so no, it is not shrinkage, just the nature of the product. Think if I were going to use if I would zigzag up and down to keep from curling or do something to tack it down

Great tute, thanks. Maybe now I'll actually use the Accuquilt Zig Zag die that I bought some time ago.

When I buy any kind of trim I carefully take it out of the package and put a few basting stitches in it to hold it together. Then I put it into a lingerie/laundry bag and toss into washer with like colors. Then into the dryer. Then use a cool iron to press. the stitching keeps it in place so it doesn't get tangled with the rest of any trim. My Dh looks at me funny when he sees laundry bags in he wash. I pre wash everything going into a quilt with exception of course to thread.

Rick-Rack can be a fun addition. I like bright and happy quilts, and do tack down places if I feel they may be an issue...

I have been using rick rack in quilts for at least the last 8 years. The quality coming out of China in the package, you have to remove it and check the contents to make sure it is not all stretched out in places.
