Do you all wash your fabrics when you get it home so its ready to use when you need it?
I have been dabbling with the quilting and am not washing my fabrics. but figured when I start a serious project Id better get the facts! thanks JoAnn
ps Im sure Im going to have ALOT of silly questions for you all as I dont have anyone else to ask.
I didn't wash it right away whenI first started (last year), but now with the bed bug infestations, I was anything made of fabric and dry it for 30 min. I don't mind the ironing because the material looks so nice when it is done.
