Test your brand before pressing in your project. I found out the hard way that the ones I use will melt onto the iron.

Wow, lots of cool information!

I found that the dryer sheets didn't tear off very easily, and I ended up having to cut around the seam to get most of the sheet off.

Thanks for the comment re my avatar. My LQS had some water damage from leaking pipes. These were samples from Benartex that has some mildew spots & she asked me if I wanted to do something with them. SURE. So I cut around the damage & sorted the color families, hence the different sizes/shapes. No 2 geese are the same. She later showed it in her shop & said the Benartex rep was blown away with what I did with them. Was fun.

I USE MY USED FABRIC SHEETS FOR PAPER PIECING. THAT WAY I HAVE NO PAPER TO RIP OFF. AFTER THEY ARE USED I IRON THEM WITH A OLD HANKY OVER THEM AND TRACE THE PATTERN RIGHT ON IT.THEN JUST SEW

speaking of labels, I iron muslin onto a piece of freezer paper, cut out labels, fold my 1/4 in (or so) under, write the message, take the paper off and viola! the label is ready and easy to sew on. Sharon

Nonna2,
Our quilt guild uses the 'used' dryer sheets when we make strip quilts for charity. We cut them down to 6"x6", iron them and then sew the strips of fabric on them. Then, we square them. They work great and we haven't had any problems with the chemicals.Eiltcoq.

I usually use my dryer sheets twice, sometimes 3 times. By the time I'm ready to throw them out, they have no more softener on them and I use them for applique. It works like a charm and...cheap!

I re-use my Bounce Dryer sheets a couple of times then I have a bag I made for them to be stored in. When the bag is full, I give them a good soak in soapy water in the sink and then I dry them in the dryer. I have used them for applique many years and never had a problem. I do iron them before using & store them in a card board type photo box til ready for use.

I am probably washing them needlessly but just doing it to be on the safe side. ;-)
