The pillow cases will be so dramatically awesome when finished and I know he'll totally love them...
Anyone know of something that will cut down on this problem, such as spraying with Cling Free?
I washed the fabric. Did not use any fabric softener if that makes any difference....Thanks so much
Someone in a fabric store once told me that a lot of the lint you see on black is due to the fact that the fabric is dyed and the lint you see is actually coming from the fabric itself. I had never thought of that, but if you study the back of it you will see. Either fabric softener or the sheets should help with your problem.
