Been there, done that.
HMMMM--the stretchy double knits make you swear????? How odd (hee, hee, hee!)
I have often told the quilt snobs you are not a quilter till you can deal with double kits and the stretch..... :roll:
I call them the true test of a quilter! But I do not mix them with cottons....at least haven't yet....
I got the "you are not a quilter if you make poly knit quilts" attitude....but I make hundreds for charity quilts cause they cannot be hurt--unless you burn them!
