I am just reading this information now.........but I have just a couple of comments. When I started a quilting class, my teacher was very insistant on PREwashing your fabric.........b ut now I am in a "block-of-the-month" club, and the girls there feel the opposite. We are working with 5" squares, and I am in beliefe that if you were to try to wash these, it would be disaster. I heard from a lady in a quilt store a bit ago that you should use a steam iron, (as well).......I am thinking that using as iron after a block is sewn would be a good thing. :?: Any more ideas? I am doing the "blocks" w/o putting water to it........
Great question, but I wonder if all of us ladies will ever have an answer? :D Thanks for your ears! Nancy
