I have a quilt made by my grandmother in probably the 1970's that has been washed and used (and used and washed...) with no problems. She made a log cabin using regular cottons for two sides and seersucker for the other two and it's fine. As far as stretching/ironing/shrinking goes, I have a favorite shirt from Land's End or LL Bean that's seersucker. I wash and iron it with no problems and have never noticed any shrinking or other issues.
|
I've used it several times, even as backing and have had no complaints so far, it washed well. DEB
|
I have made many memory quilts using all kinds of fabrics from people's clothes. If it's stretchy just be sure to stabilize the fabric.
|
Years ago I bought some pretty multi colored pastel searsucker fabric to make a summer weight robe, thinking well it's searsucker so it must be cool NOTTTT! It it really warm and probably because it is tightly woven. Anyway I didn't find it hard to work with reallky, but to me it is really warm and if that's what you want or need in a quilt it will probably be the fabric you might want to use.

I have made pillow cases from seersucker. I washes up so soft
|
The only issue we had was if you iron it, the little dimples don't really come back.
But it was soft and looked cute with the cotton. :) |
I put some seersucker in a baby quilt and it was fine.
|
I love seersucker for clothes because it is so cool in the summer. But often seersucker comes in some wonderful stripes. I would use it in a quilt.

We (being true quilters) can't throw anything away & would like some advice if seersucker is hard to work with. Thank you all for all your help.
