That reminds me! When you buy fat 16th's..... how do you pre-wash those things?!?! They are so small, they will be a huge mess coming out of the washer and be all frayed to death.
So I don't want to pre-wash....... but I hate not to. What would you do?
i put all my fabric inside a pillowcase and tie it off and throw that into the machine.
then i take all the fabric out of the pillowcase and throw it in the dryer.
so far its worked well for me, i even done this with jelly rolls and i didn't have that much fraying.
That is certainly a clever idea and much better then basting all around the edges of the fabric! I'll have to add this to my tip list. Thanks!
One thing I learned the way was after put into a pillow case, if a long strip, pin your last end to pillow case. Then you know where to start to fold or what ever you going to do.
