Yes, the instructions say to prewash the fabric then starch it. Yes, the quilt should be washed after it is quilted and bound to remove the starch.

poodle1 OFFLINE Posts: 4	I usually prewash all my fabrics, but because I bought the BOM kit my worry was about the shrinkage and if there would be enough fabric after washing..I think that I'll gently wash them and lightly dry and iron. So exciting! Love the quilt already! I'll download the pattern today. Great way to start a New Year!Thanks
