I am really terrified for Chocolate Jane...I have a mix of fabric in her- some washed, some not. Some of it was a jelly roll that I couldn't wash..some were bits and pieces from you..not washed..then some FQ's, etc., I did wash...so I have no idea what will happen...I'm scared!!
Sandpat: years ago I bought red fabric with white polka dots and when I washed it I ended up with pink dots. My friend owned a fabric store and she told me to put the fabric in the washing machine with a box of baking soda and soak it over night. In the morning I ran it through the regular wash cycle and the fabric looked like new. I have used that trick many times through the years and it works everytime.
