Do you wash your fabric before making your Bow Tucks?

Dingle....Did it shrink much after you washed it? I have wondered about the washing aspect of these bags.
When I am just cross hatching I mark diagonally across the bag with a piece of masking tape and follow the line. I then use my walking foot with guide for the rest. This way I have no marks to remove. I am kind of addicted to the masking tape, I hate marking and marks.

No, I wash in cold and put it in the dryer for a little bit. It's still a little damp when I take it out. I usually have to put the lining back in the bag. I then form it and hang it from a door knob to finish air drying. Looks like it was never washed. Still nice and crisp. But I do use the heavy FF for the outside of the bag and the regular for the rest. Makes it more firm.[/quote]
Any chance you happen to know the name or number of the heavier FF? Would love to be able to have more "body" to my bags
