Tip: Pre-washing precuts (strips)

6:49:00 PM

Here's a tip for today.

Some quilters like to pre-wash their fabrics prior to quilting with it - I'm one of these people.

If you want to pre-wash your jelly-roll strips, use a laundry bag. That way your strips won't end up wrapped around the agitator in your washing machine.

I picked this one up at Target for about $5.

Happy quilting!

    Good to know! I avoid pre-washing at all cost, unless it's flannel!
    BTW, thanks for stopping by my blog. I tried responding, but couldn't reach you by email because of your email settings:(
