I'd like to pass on a new tip ---before you wash cottons, clip a
small (3/4") corner at 45 degrees off each corner (4). no raveling. and, you can also fold the yards --- folded width of fabric x about 24". Just keep making folds until you use all the fabric. use big safety pins in several places and the middle (7 or 8, depending on how many folds you have.) no tangled mess in the washer or dryer It really works !. |
That is great information, makes sense as we cut ribbon at angle to prevent raveling. Thanks
|
I discovered the delicate cycle on my washing machine and use it now for all my fabrics. No raveling, no clipping corners and no tangled mess! I love it!
|
What cool tips. I'm going to try them. Thanks for sharing.
