Bearding - is it true?
I am working on a quilt for myself. It is Bonnie Hunters "H is for Happy" I am doing the black and white 1 1/2" squares. I just realized that one of the whites is a poly cotton. Someone told me that poly cotton will beard. The fabric doesn't feel bad but when I ironed it I can smell it. Once it is finished I don't expect to iron it so the lower melting point will not be an issue but the bearding is a concern and are there any other things I should consider. I have only sewn about 3 strips so I can take it out. I would wash in cool water and some of my fabric is washed and some not. Thanks, I have just finished my first quilt - a throw about 49" by 65".
