I compiled all these reasons into one list for quick reference.
To remove:
glue stick
starch
spray adhesive
fabric sizing and chemicals
Pet hair/allergens
dirt from hands
dust from moving quilt around while quilting
marking lines
To check for:
bleeding fabrics
seams that may have come undone
And:
to get that crinkly look
to make sure my giftee knows it can be done!
