Fabric Care
This week’s SBQ was suggested by Dawn and is:
How often do you wash your fabric for each project? Do you wait until the very end until to wash it or do you wash it more than once?
Ha, ha! This question is especially appropriate for me (and my chocolately fingers) this week… (see last night’s entry)
Normally I don’t wash my fabric until the end of a project unless something happens that makes it necessary for me to wash it beforehand. When I wash my projects I always hand-wash them in lukewarm water using dish soap, roll them up in a towel to extract some of the water, and then iron them (right side down) until they are dry. I have never washed stitching in the washing machine. Someday I would like to stitch something on a sweatshirt, but I am reluctant to do so because I don’t know how well the stitching could handle the regular washing.
