Fabric Suggestions for Quilting Cottons

Most patterns just aren't going to turn out right in quilting cotton, unless you're really wanting that like novelty print or that structure. Pre washing is important because you can expect your fabric to shrink a bit the first time you wash it. You don't want to end up making a top that fits really well and then wash it and having it be weigh too small. Wash and dry your fabric according to the care instructions and how you intend to wash and dry your finished garment.
