Photo Memory Quilt Question
Hey fellow quilt lovers! I am new to this forum but I've been sewing since my oldest was born, about 5 years. I have made small quilted things but this year for Christmas I am making my MIL and SIL Photo Memory Quilts. I almost have my top finished on my second one. I used June Taylor's washable sew in fabric. My questions.. since I didn't prewash (I never do for quilting), if I throw in some Shout Color Catchers with my finished quilt in the wash, will the photos be ok? Do you machine wash your photo quilts before giving as gifts? I've also read that if you like the wrinkled quilted look, you can throw your photo quilt in the dryer on a low setting to give it a toss, but the directions say to lay flat and air dry.? Also, one more... how many times have you washed the sew in fabric and how has the pictures held up? Thank you for any help or advise! - Jennifer
