Do you just cut and wash 6 yards or something and then do the rest later? Or what. I have looked at to wash/not to wash in the threads and am guessing washing is in order...cold water? Little bit of soap, or no? Really, I know, this is exasperating.
Don't be silly! Everyone involved in this project are great and want to help each other. I'm sure nobody feels like sighing over your question!
I cut fabric down to manageable pieces. Because I'm using red/blue batiks and white, I washed my fabric twice (once with mild soap) and starch/iron as I go.
Oh what fun we're gonna have! I'm glad your doing this project with us!
