Ack I didn't realize that either
I think if we "rewash" blocks they should have a row of "stay stitching" around the edge or make sure the seams are backstitched....rewashing may cause them to pull out! This may be a question for our "fearless leader". April????
This is not to say you can not use starch but be careful of the heavily scented ones. We do have a few people who do have allergies so we just want to be curteous of that. Do not re-wash the blocks it could cause the seams to come undone unless they are stay stitched. There is no need to wash a block-please remember this is supposed to be FUN!!!!
