you will be ok---I have the same allergy and did not find it out until I was working in a fabric store. Almost passed out, what a weird feeling. But the doctor discovered it and now I just bring home the fabrics, wash them in cold, dry them in the dryer with a snuggle fabric softener sheet and I am good to go. I do not sew the edges because it gives me the info to see if I need to finish edges when I make things or not. I am on allergy meds and as long as I take them everyday, I am fine. I was not about to let it keep me from my passion.
