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?

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.
