Ok, now do I wash and iron it before listing or do I list it with the caveat that it was purchased at yard sale and has not been washed? The seller were "upscale" and actually was a jewelry maker and had really nice things. I haven't brought the fabric inside yet...its in my car as I was undecided what to do.
Would it bother any of you to buy fabric listed like this?
I read a post from somebody who purchased something from a 2nd hand store and carried bedbugs into her house because she did not wash it and put it in the dryer right away. I can't answer your question, but with all the problems that have been talked about in the news about staying in expensive hotels/motels and then bringing them home, I would be careful.
