Folding Fabric and/or Quilts
 

I went to a gathering of Long Arm Operators on the weekend and I was puzzled about how they were folding samples. First of al,l I am aware that prolonged folding sets creases. I read/was told a while ago that folding on the diagonal would help against that. These veteran business women were folding quilts AND flimsies with the good side out. I at least thought the other way would help keep things clean! But no they were talking about fiber stretch etc. I am totally confused.

I like to fold my flimsies with the good side out. They may need washing after quilting but the raw seams will not get frayed that way.

That is interesting. I usually hang mine on pant hangers in a closet. Guess I will start leaving the right side out.

I was told to fold with the right side out on a quilt top to contain the threads inside.

Me too. Right side out to keep the seams from abuse.
