that is a lot of work, but it might work. HelenW

Thank you, will try delicate cycle tomorrow. The damage may be done but a lesson has been learned. Will wash by hand next time. Best wishes and thank you for your help and time. Terri

Terri, so I can pass this along to our fabric buyer, was it a particular fabric that caused you problem or the entire kit? The Kit came from one fabric manufacturer but different lines, obviously; so, if there was one or two in particular, we would like to make note so we don't use that in another kit.
-
All the two tone woven fabric. If I am the only one with problem then I am the problem and not the line of fabric. I did the corner clips, they just got in a knot in the wash with very deep hard wrinkles. If I use this fabric again I will treat it kinder and wash in sink that should avoid the wrinkling. Thank you for your time and interest. Terri

I am using the kit fabric, and have discovered I am not a fan of shot cotton. It is lovely fabric, but the wrinkles are hard to get out, and it frays really bad. I have used a lot of FrayCheck. I, too, cut the corners of the fabrics before washing, and all I got was a big tangled, wadded up mess of threads. I would advise anyone just starting out with these fabrics to maybe serge or zigzag the edges before washing. And, maybe use the delicate cycle, but that’s all “water under the bridge” now. I do think that quilting will hide some of the wrinkles, don’t you?

I too used the kit with the shot cotton. I did have the same issue and in hind sight, I would not have washed my fabric. Lesson learned. I did end up taking the fabric out of the washer and separating each piece, trimming loose edges. I put in the dryer for about 15 min. and ironed each piece mostly damp. It worked for me, but I will never purchase any shot fabric again.

You may want to try the ironing spray Flatter when ironing the shot cottons. Their website describes it this way: "This starch free smoothing spray relaxes wrinkles and freshens fabrics". This is not an exaggeration... I keep it by my iron and use it regularly for pesky wrinkles. Good luck!
