Sometimes it's the unknown fabric content and a hot iron that makes it shrink up. At least we all learn from our mistakes, huh?Daryl @ Patchouli Moon Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187456682218408410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774548682390634156.post-6502241506745099672012-06-11T05:22:28.856+04:302012-06-11T05:22:28.856+04:30There's another issue that has cropped up with...There's another issue that has cropped up with me and the wash/don't wash question Maria. A couple of weeks ago I bought a new blouse at a very nice department store. Normally I wash anything I buy before wearing but this time I was in a hurry and wore it to a stitching group I was attending. I had a terrible allergic reaction to the dye! I thought I was just getting a really bad cold...my eyes burned and my nose ran and I was miserable. Fifteen minutes after I took that blouse off I was fine. It was cotton and came from India. Many of our quilting fabrics come from other countries so I guess I'll be washing all my fabric from now on! blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.com
