I've finally got some free time to make pillowcases and I'd love to just get sewing BUT....
Several of the tutorials I've seen say the fabric should be washed first. Well, thing is I'm not sure if I should cut the yardage I'd planned to use them wash & trim the raggedy edges then iron or wash the whole length of fabric and just return what I didn't use back into the stash - will that be a problem mixing in with other unwashed fabrics if I want to mix them up in a quilt later?
I'd planned on using some orphaned JR strips as the accent - but washing those would be a nightmare :-/
What's the worst that could happen is I don't wash any of the fabrics until the pillowcase is done?
