Swish and rinse in running water. Spin them in a salad spinner and dry on a sweater dryer frame.<br />No fraying they say!Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13903542759920952312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441125190998648906.post-44393719094485032212010-09-20T19:16:59.775-06:002010-09-20T19:16:59.775-06:00Yeah, I always wash fabric first, even though, as ...Yeah, I always wash fabric first, even though, as Thimbleanna says, it's a pain! Especially batiks, which always seem to run like rabbits, no matter where they come from or how much you shell out for them.....That bundle looks like a Fall/Halloween project about to happen!mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441125190998648906.post-74895226071652434952010-09-20T10:19:27.479-06:002010-09-20T10:19:27.479-06:00UGH.....so far my rule has been to only prewash fa...UGH.....so far my rule has been to only prewash fabric cut from the bolt, and only reds and blacks, and any fabric that I use in conjunction with the reds and blacks....now you're telling me I need to be washing fat quarters.....I'm not liking what you're selling here today!! When I wash fat quarters, they turn into a stringy giant wad...and they are just never the same again....maybe I need to do the line drying, like you. But it's not dry here, it's humid here, our air does not need any more moisture.<br /><br />Sadly the dye grabber does not lie......So what are you making with that fat quarter bundle, I LOVE Sandy Gervais..it looks like Sandy Gervais, is it? I'm very curious to read more....Thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11784898132123339891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441125190998648906.post-88114367573338929802010-09-20T08:00:15.586-06:002010-09-20T08:00:15.586-06:00Absolutely!
