I know I shouldn't use it with cottons (I think), but could it be used in a rag quilt? in a Christmas throw that wouldn't see much use? It would make a great shepherd's coat...
So, my question is... can I/should I use this material????
You're doing the work and the designing-------------use it if you think it's okay to wash.
I"ve used rayon more than once with cotton or poly cotton.
