:shock:

Do you wash your quilts after finishing them - as in finsished the binding ready for use now)? I do. Having the starch dust etc from working nthe quilt, washing seems to refresh it.

I also wash by SOAKING for 10 minutes in warm sudsy water, draining the wash water, then on rinse to soak for another 10 minutes. do the rinse/soak twice. Put in dryer until just about totally dry. So far it has worked very well. I started quilting in 1965 - so that is a long track record for washing quilts :lol:
