I've recently started to have a lot of itching hands and sneezing/headaches when working with unwashed fabric, so I'm in the process of washing my yardage and fat quarters. I know some zig zag the sides, pink the edges, cut corners, etc but I don't have the time or the vast amounts of thread to sew every side and cutting corners never worked for me. My pinking shears are missing.
I just threw in a huge load of yardage. Got my scissors ready to trim all those thread balls before I put it in the dryer. The last time I did about half a load of fat quarters and full yards and got a softball-size lump of threads off of them.
Lord help me.
