Thanks for all the input--you guys are great.
You did nothing wrong.
It's supposed to be very stiff.
ooc, did you use the poly or cotton fusible?
Aside from being alarmed at the unexpected stiffness, does it/will it hang nice and flat?
Because there is nothing that says you HAVE to wash it, especially since it's a wall hanging.
Really, it will be fine if you wash it.
If you're really flipping out over it, because it's just a WH, wash it, then take it out of the machine and dry it flat on your table or counter. Place a towel underneath for a sort of an unofficial blocking.
And don't forget to breathe.
