Thanks so much for your great information. I don't ususally wash and dry my quilts before we raffle them but maybe I will have to rethink this. I will 'spritz and steam' and hope that works. You members are the 'best'.

Before you wash the quilt, you may want to wash a couple of bath towels and put them in the dryer with the quilt, there just might be enough moisture in the towels to let the fibers go back to a natural state. Just an idea. Hate it when I have to rip out some of my LA quilting.

I feel that gently washing it with a cup of vinegar added and then drying it on low heat should help. At least she did give you a break on the price, however, I know you are frustrated and I hope it turns out well for you.

Such good suggestions! In heirloom sewing I know you always want to use natural fiber fabric with wing tip needles -- doing that will ensure the holes remain open in your decorative stitches. Nice to know that cotton also heals itself!
