Dryer after pre-washing?
#13
Thanks everyone for your replies! I did put mine in the dryer to dry and they came out perfectly. I didn't even have to iron, just folded them until I'm ready to start that project.
Its good to know I can do this :)

I wash and dry everything, i dry it all the way, if it's gonna shrink in any way, i want it done before it becomes a quilt, i want the person using it to know they can safely wash it and dry it for many years.
Twisted stitcher, i love your idea! :)

MY fabric goes from the front door of my house to the laundry room. I do not do anything with it until it has gone thru the washer and dryer. If I think the colors might run I put it in hot water in a pan first and test it. I also use those "color catcher" sheets you can buy at the grocery store. Beats me, how they work but they do . Marge
