Using white fabric
#12
There is one other thing you should do besides washing your fabrics so they don't run into the white and using white batting. You need to be careful when pressing your blocks that have white in them. Make sure your iron is very clean because sometimes it leaves dark marks on the white especially on the seam lines. May in Jersey

seems like bull to me. There are many quilts that use white and lots of it too. Like for example the first quilt I made was from Quilt in a Day. It required white. Most 2 color quilts are either say blue and white or red and white. I also prewash too. Some of the quilts that I'd love to make require something like 7 yards of white for the background. :D

Ive never heard that you shouldn't use white fabric...the only reason I could think of is because white shows dirt more??? I dunno. I'm doing a Cathedral Windows with white. I hope I'm not breaking a law...lol.

Possibly this person doesn't like white. Telling you not to use white is like telling you not to use sugar in your icing. I have and will continue to use white when I want and where it want. Besides, who hired her as quilt police?
