Hello,
I am going to take my first machine quilting class starting Monday, August 8th. I am washing my fabric as I write this. I soaked my fabric in white vinegar and water overnite. Does that work pretty well? I am looking forward to becoming an avid quilter.

Hi and welcome from Lancaster PA. I always pre wash my fabric too. Just do it in the regular wash though. I also do the batting. I just soak it for 20 min. then spin and dry.

Welcome from Glenwood, Il. I have sewn for years but when I wanted to start quilting I took a beginners course--learned so much from it. It was a six block quilt learning something different on each block. I highly recommend a beginners class.
