If I launder fabric in cold water & let line dry, will this compromise shrinkage?
Hello
I just ordered 6 yards of 108" backing fabric. It's quite stiff and will be a nightmare to work with. I'd like to launder it in cold water then just line dry in order to soften it up. Do you think this will cause it to shrink even if it's not put in the dryer?
I don't pre-wash my piecing fabric. I'd like to avoid a conflict in rate of shrinkage between the top and backing.
Thank you.
