Okay, I have a load of ties in the washing machine (in laundry bags to hopefully limit tangling). I figure I'll wash them first, then take them apart, and then maybe wash them again before ironing to fusible.
What I am wondering is, has anyone machine dried the ties? I want the finished quilt to be washable. I'm thinking the silk should not be damaged by machine drying, but maybe some of it will shrink? I know the interior interfacing will shrink. Hmmmm.... Maybe I should line dry before taking them apart and machine dry only after I wash them after those interfacings have been removed. Thoughts?
