Stretching a block
I have 'stretched' cottons while they were damp.
However, the next time I washed and dried the cottons, if I dried them to dry - they reverted back to their 'natural' size.
So - if/when a block is stretched, what happens when it's washed and dried? Does the batting hold it in place or what?
I also stretched a block - a lot- when I soaked it with sizing and ironed it when it was wet. (5 to 5.5 inches)
