No pics...busy washing all the fabrics but got possibly 300 yards of material for 150.00
So excited.
So happy1
Knew you all could share the joy...will try to post when washed and refolded.

WOW!!!!
Just wondering...how long does it take to wash, dry AND fold 300 yards of fabric?????
You sure were in the right place at the right time!!!
Can't wait to see it all!!!

how long will it take to IRON it all...OY...I do large washings like this, then just fold and set aside..I then take like colors, dampen them and put into a large ziploc(one of the super jumbo size) and place in the fridge over night...the threads will swell when wet and release the wrinkles, so I can press much easier...learned this from ironing the old military uniforms that were cotton...learned it from my mom who did my dads uniforms for 23 years....

Thanks for the tip...not sure my refrig is big enough.
have washed 4 loads...about 4 or 6 more to go.
Hope to count the yards as I fold...it at least seems like 300...we will see
