Ever washed a whole BOLT of fabric before?

It was a tip from a speaker at a guild meeting. She started by asking, "have you ever seen an elephant's umbilicus?" This of course caught the attention of everyone in the room!

I was visiting my daughter last week and washed sheet in her top-loading washing machine. My God, were they twisted!

I now have a front loading washing machine and it doesn't twist much at all. That's another PLUS for a quilter!

But I'm not forgetting that safety pin washing machine tip for large quantities of yardage!

Good One!!

I have heard that it is not a good idea (unless you have an industrial size washing machine) to wash more than 6 yards of fabric at one time. I think it has to do with the fabric being able to move in the machine so that all parts get wet, are cleaned, etc. I wonder since you are just trying to remove the chemicals if it would work just fine, but I guess you would have to experiment and that could lead to disaster (or at least a mess). Let us all know what you decide and how it came out, will you? Thanks!
