Using a pillowcase. What a great idea. Getting ready to wash some new fabric and will give it a try.

Well, the idea I got from this board - to cut the 4 corners has helped. I'll have to remember about the pillowcase, too.

Thanks for the tip... I'll try that, I'm one that doesn't like to prewash because of tangling and freying...So next batch I'll try it.

Brass wont rust, so see if they are brass or coated brass
