I have a question.....Seersucker Fabric
I am going to be making a quilt/comforter for a friend. I will need to press the fabric during the construction, and when my project is completed I plan on washing the quilt before I give it to my friend. Will the texture of the Seersucker return to its natural pucker?

When I was taught how to iron, mom would tell me to press then give it a good shake so the pucker would come back.
|
Back in the "olden days" I used seersucker when sewing summery clothing. The seersucker stays in the seersucker texture after ironing or washing. Not sure if today's seersucker has the same qualities. Maybe you should try a sample first.
|
Long time since I've worked with seersucker. Maybe just try to keep the iron focused on the seams as much as possible.
|
Taking the pucker out of seersucker is like taking wrinkles out of linen. Why?

The texture of seersucker won't iron out when pressing so you will be fine.
|
But it might be polyester, so make sure to keep your iron cool enough.
|
I am not sure why you are using seersucker in a quilt but I would use a cool iron for the pressing.

Sounds interesting. I hope you show us the finished project. I've seen some childrens' quilts that have ruffles and roushing in the blocks or added to the top so why not seersucker?
