Hint for prewashing fabric
I was so thrilled to find this "easy" solution to keeping your large pieces of fabric from becoming a tangled mess in the washer and dryer. I can't take credit for it as I saw it on a Kaye Woods video on YouTube. Just an FYI!
Open your fabric so that it is flat (selvedge on right and left with fold line down the center).
Accordion pleate the fabric at about 12-18" widths. When all is pleated pin each selvedge end with safety pins to secure. Use as many pins as you feel comfortable with. I suggest also pinning the folds about every 12 inches.
Wash and dry as you usually do! I hope this tip is helpful.
Keep smiling-it will make everyone wonder what you are up to.
