i would be contacting the shop where they came from and asking for a refund...i have purchased tons of fabric on line over the years and NEVER have i received a package with dust-bunnies! that is soooo not acceptable! are they storing the fabric in a basement or garage or something? i received perfumed fabric one time...sent my hubby to the hospital in respitory distress from the reaction when i opened the package. when we returned from the hospital i was right on the phone...my money was refunded and i no longer do business with that shop. i don't know if they sprayed perfume to hide cigarette smoke or what but it was noxious! i would definitly be contacting them, washing the strips are such a pain, and they will probably shrink some or be wonky after. so, unless you just really want them i'd send them back. and i would wonder why they are sending out dusty fabrics
