Yes.
I made a formal gown from seersucker (it wasn't puckered and I did not pre-wash it) I then took the left over and made dh a shirt... I washed it AFTER construction....ooopps... it shrank and puckered up so much he couldn't get it on.... double oops.... anyway... long story short... if you are going to us seer sucker prewash first regardless of what it's going to be used as and then press before construction if you don't want to deal with the puckers.

seersucker is a fabric. that has built-in puckers... used a lot for summer wear.
usually striped

I was at a quilting class last Saturday to make a pinwheel quilt. Most folks were making them with 30's reproductions or original feed sacks! But, one lady made hers of beautiful bright seersucker prints and used a non-seersucker white background fabric. It was absolutely gorgeous! The fabrics sewed well and laid flat. If her experience is any indication, you will be happy with the results!

I have some that I'm planning to use for binding, had thought of using it in a quilt, I think the texture would be good for a kid quilt but wondered about pressing. Now when I get home I'm going to press a piece then wet it and see if it sucks back up.

OOOHHHHH, thanks for the heads up! I didn't know it would shrink (I'm not normally a pre-washer) but I will pre-wash this! Thanks again!

DD & I went to JoAnn's a while back & she picked out several Tutti Fruitti fabrics for me to make her uniform tops. She is a nurse. The reason she picked this fabric is because it is made from poly & cotton so she doesn't have to iron it. Her time is limited with 2 jobs & twins. Doesn't need to add ironing to it as well.

I have a small pile of Tuttifruity fabric and was wondering what to do with it. I may try washing, ironing and re-washing a piece to see what happens.

I would love to make a quilt with my fabrics.
