Do I need to wash pellon 987f fusible fleece before I use it? Also, I need to buy a lot of this for a big project so where can I get at so that it will not cost me an arm and a leg. I have 200 reading book bags which are that I volunteer to make for a local school in a small town that barely gets enough funding to keep going but they will not give up on the kids in this little town. So, I making them for the reading teacher to put the students bi-weekly reading plans, books and sheet to handout to all of the children from grades K - 5 in kid friendly prints to take their reading homework in and bring back to school every two weeks. The teacher is a Title 1 Reading Teacher which I do not know what that means, but I doing this for the kids. Also, I have been working on 300 throw quilts in kids friendly prints to give to each child and staff for Christmas Gift. A lot to these kids hardly get anything for Christmas, so I thought that while they are reading their books for the reading class at home they can wrap up in these throw quilts and the same for the staff to take a load off their feet at the end of the day.
