Did you snip the edges about every 1/4 inch before washing it?
|
Can you post a pic so maybe we can see what happened ?

And did you by mistake cut them on the bias?

will try and add a photo. |
Is the fabric 100% cotton? Did you dry it in the dryer or on the clothesline?
|
100% cotton or flane, dried on the rack as i dont have a thumbledrier but i can borrow mums if that helps but i do think i need to perhaps cut the raggy lines a bit shorter

Do quilts rag if they are not dried in the dryer? |

Do quilts rag if they are not dried in the dryer? I have dried several quilts in my home dryer, despite being told not to. I clean the lint tray SEVERAL times during drying. So far, so good. The outgoing line should also be checked for lint buildup. |
