You are planning to make 29 quilts?

I would toss it. We live in the country and have had problems with rodents in the past with stuff stored outside or in the motor home. I toss.

This won't apply to your fabric because I'm sure you don't want to take a chance gettin debris or smell on or in your machine - but if you have a serger - I always serge the cut ends of my fabrics BEFORE I wash them - NO RAVELING - neat and easy to press. Worth the minute it takes.

My problem is, my Mother-in-Law's fabric had mice so it must all be washed. 18 boxes full..... Do you think just Tide and Downy is good, or do I need to use something stronger? It's disgusting....... Also, I only want to wash it on gentle so I get the least amount of fray possible... |
Are these quilts for charity or for someone you know. If it's for someone you know, I wouldn't be talking about the mouse stuff too much because they will never use the quilt if they know...sounds kinda gross

Just Tide in hot water
& a good drying should do the trick. No need to disinfect. J J |
I saw on one of the posts that we should not use fabric softener when prewashing. The fusible will not stick to fabric washed with fabric softener. That is important to me since I use fusible stabilizer for my machine embroidery.

Whatever you use, use it in a laudramat!
