Thread: How do you soften a quilt?

Any ideas. I washed fabric beforehand and twice after quilting. Still stiff.

Is it Cotton?? the sizing should have washed out.Is it hard or rough, I am sorry I have no idea what could be wrong.

Don't use Warm and Natural to start with.

Could it be the quality of fabric you used or did you use fusibles?

I was just fixing to ask the same question. I use warm and natural a lot.

The first time you use a Quilter's Dream cotton or a Hobbs Heirloom you'll find out just how stiff Warm and Natural is in comparison. Compared to Quilter's Dream, Warm and Natural is a board.

I use W & N and have found it to be very cozy and pliable in the quilt. When mine are stiff, it's usually b/c I've lots of close quilting.

Ditto.

Lots of fabric softener?
