i always always prewash everything. i just finished washing, starching and pressing 2 fat quarter packs and am trying to figure out if i have enough of the fabrics i need to make the quilt i am working on. it's making my brain cramp up.
i want the owners to use, abuse, love and get these quilts dirty. the first way i can feel confident about them doing that is make sure the fabrics i am using are stable, run free and good to go.
i don;t like feeling constrained in my design work by the scarcity involved in using these packs. for my current project it looks like i might be about .5 a yard short of one print to do the design i want. so now i am trying to find it online in a canadian shop. it's not a fun experience. sorry for highjacking your thread.
