Topic: Pre-washing question (1/1) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Enjoy "Color My World" by Wendy Williams - This beautiful quilt is constructed of soft and textural shot cottons from Windham fabrics on a richly patterned background. It offers so many opportunities for personalization through both embellishment and quilting- you could add house numbers, decorations, people, pets, garden flowers- there are so many ways to make this quilt truly your own!

Let's use this Topic "Color My World Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful work. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.

The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.

AND when you post your photos to Social Media, like Instagram, Facebook, etc., use either of these hash tags so everyone there will be able to find our wonderful work:

Hi Barbara, I am waiting on my fabrics to arrive. Just watched the pre-washing video. What do you think about serging the edges of the fabrics before you wash? This will be my first time to use freezer paper with paper piecing and I am looking forward to your BOM. Also this is my first post in the forum, I hope to do it correctly.

You posted just fine. I don’t have a serger but even if I did it would feel like work to me so I wouldn’t do it. I expect a little raveling when I pre-wash so it doesn’t bother me. And making the small diagonal cut on the four corners helps enough for me.

You could try washing one piece of fabric with laundry to see if you think you need to serge.
