Love all the advice, really..... I think everyone has valuable information and even if it's something I'm not accustomed to, I'm never against learning.
As for the pre-washing...... does this fall true of things like batiks too?? That they should be pre-washed? I'm just soooooooo scared to pre-wash! It just ruined my fabric so badly!! ugh.... maybe I'll buy some for a simple little project and try it. lol
