LOL, I had the same idea! Heard it from somewhere! I asked by friends and family to save their used dryer sheets. Did I get a shock when I picked them up!! I, apparently, am the only one who used unscented!! Oh my!! And of course, each family used a different scent. Needless to say, they all went in the trash (I am allergic) and thankfully, no one asked to see the quilt I was going to make!! Valuable lesson learned LOL!

I save them all and use for a variety of foundation projects and they have never gummed up my needle. I also paint them for a light transparent look in art quilts. I like the slight fragrance that remains after removing from dryer.

Sorry for being a little off the subject BUT..... tatteredgarden and quiltgal -
I am intrigued with your avitars. Are they quilted or painted? How'd you DO that? very cool !! Thx!

The one by "SEventh Generation" can be used quite a few times. They're perforated so you can split them down the middle. I can use one split for one load of denim shirts, then the same for denim jeans, then bath towels. They're dye and fragrant free. After that I can use for paper piecing scraps. I don't use them for applique.

I heard of using dryer sheets to applique but not for piecing. I would like to see pictures or a video on it if anyone has one.

I don't use dryer sheets ever, too many allergies.

I do this too. I use USED dryer sheets so nothing is left in them. I use non scented as I have allergies to many fragrances.

You would use - used sheets. I've used them and there's no scent. They make a good foundation.

Thanks to all for the suggestions and words of advise. I will try to post a picture of what I have started[ATTACH=CONFIG]513102[/ATTACH]

I used "used" sheets, and there WAS still scent in them, especially when ironed. It was overwhelming, and not in a good way.
