    It is so true, you get what you pay for except when fabric is marked down on sale because it hasn't sold. I would contact the store and ask for their advice. I wouldn't try using the fabric in a quilt. Be sure to get some iron cleaner which should clean off the residue on your iron.

    The iron came clean when I ironed the blue fabric. Ha. It has a teflon coating.

    I sprayed the dryer with a bathroom cleaner that has bleach in it and then put in a wet towel per advice on here. Most of it came out except for right at the opening. So I tried a Magic Eraser. Those things really are Magic. Came right off.

    So now just to deal with the fabric. Hopefully they'll allow a return. And I'm returning all of the fabric. None of it feels good. And the tone on tone is the kind that feels like it has rubber on it. I had some like that before. It's a bugger to hand stitch through. Plus it just looks cheap. IMHO>

    Good idea to return it all. A QOV is no place for cheap looking/feeling fabric.

    Hopefully they'll let me. I have washed it all. Can you return fabric for no real reason? I get the red since it's bleeding.
