cotton fabric shrinkage
Hi every one
Can some one shine some light on cotton shrinkage?
I went out the other day and got 2 yards of fabric at one of our larger hobby and craft stores.
So I come home.
And think ok i,m going to start cutting a good pile of fabric and really so for it.
so I cut for hours and then get ready to sew but i give every thing a iron first .
And start to put my pieces togeather and they don,t match up . The fabric a got at the hobby store shrank alot on a 5 inch piece it is now 4 1/8 from me ironing it.
So if i wash the rest of the fabric and use it will it shrink more ?
Or is that it for shrinkage?
Guess I know why it was cheap .
Oh well
thanks
Tom
