Hello and welcome from the UK. I bought some cream fabric last week on line that was very thin and flimsly. Even after washing this showed the under seams badly. I asked advice on the board about Kona and Bella solids and then bought some Kona natural and following advice from the ladies here, washed it. The Kona fabric was a better quality to start with and washing seemed to make it a little 'denser'. I'm certainly much happier with this than the fabric I originally bought.
