You have my sympathy - and hope your class is great :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

I had the same problem with a small panel today. I starched, let air dry and then hit it with an iron. And it shrank, no I didnt pre wash the pattern said not to. I didnt even consider the hot iron shrinking the panel. Thankfully I had another.
