It's messy, but to me, the fabric is still worth it.
I ordered fabrci that was on clearance...washed and dried it.... Talk about threads and raveling. Was very disappointed in the fabric. I usually don't order on clearance and don't usually wash/dry it.....Other fabric that I have ordered that I didn't wash/dry was a dream to work with. Don't know what the problem was but a lesson not to w/d it beforehand. Good luck!!
