Hetty: Was that den Haan en Wagenmakers in Amsterdam? corner shop with lots of glass, 3 floors? I bought some glazed cotton and haven't used it (I wanted to combine it with quilting fabric from France, but in Paris the shops said it all came from the US...). Anyhow--I remember reading in H & W that the glaze meant the fabric didn't need pre-shrinking; I interpreted as 'fabric is washable'. I would use cold, hand-wash cycle, however. - nanibi
