You have my sympathy - and hope your class is great :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) |
I'm so sorry! I know what you mean about the price of the fabric. On a positive note, you'll have an awesome scrappy quilt start!

I had the same problem with a small panel today. I starched, let air dry and then hit it with an iron. And it shrank, no I didnt pre wash the pattern said not to. I didnt even consider the hot iron shrinking the panel. Thankfully I had another.

How peculiar is this: the 3" strips are just fine!

Don't know how joy learned it but I just learned it from Krystyna

I don't understand why they would say to starch unwashed fabric after it has been cut. It already has sizing. Washed fabric is starched to make it easier to cut. I wash, starch and iron, and then cut.
