Use the back of the fabric instead of the front. We pay for both sides, right?

I've used a lot of wow, and I've never had a problem of any kind with it. Of course, I don't use a long arm (don't have one), so I can't speak to that issue. I've never had anything stick to my iron, either. I do watch what I buy -- and what I buy may not be the most (emphasis added) expensive fabric, but I don't buy "cheap" either.

never had any problem with it washing off or sticking to iron, but it sure is messy on the long arm! leaves lots of 'dandruff" flakes around the hopping foot in int he bobbin area.Like several of you, I often flip it over and use the wrong side out which helps some.

I am with you! It has always looked like applied plastic to me. I have only purchased it twice. Other than that, I have received some as gifts or in swaps. Most of it is still somewhere in my stash.

Can manufactures still label this type of fabric as 100% cotton? Or does it add one of those "exclusive of decoration" phrases?

I've used white on white many times and never had any problems, other than the iron sticking, so I just turn it over and iron on the backside. If your iron is too iron, this is when it will stick. The white on white I've used has always been painted, Not glued.

Onebyone, never knew that but come to think of it I have a white on white that does feel like that. Thanks for that information.

My grandson noticed that white on white is scratchy to his face. We were making a quilt and he said we should not use that fabric as it was scratchy. I think I have had white on white in the past was dyed some way to make the difference but don't know.

Years ago I had some like that, just 4-5 Yards. I used it and gave the quilt to someone. I never heard anything about it.

Now all my WOW has white pictures, of moons,stars.snowflakes Etc. in the fabric. No plastic and not raised, I use it a lot.

I mainly do charity quilting so I have lots of fabrics donated to me or free stuff from our group but I have lots of the fabrics that have stars or whatever applied to the tops and if I use it I have to iron on the back or put a cloth on the fabric before I iron it plus it feels rough any way......I may not use most of it. I have used some small pieces in scrappy quilts but I figured no one is going to be ironing a quilt but the fabric is rough .....i may just pack it all up and donate it some where else like Goodwill........??????
