Prewashing fabric

Eileen, it was a special order from Hancock Fabrics. I think I'll tell the manager. It really surprised me. I've been sewing for almost 50 years and I've never dealt with fabric like that. We had a deadline, so I didn't want to re-order. My husband will be the one hanging the curtains, so each time they go up, he'll get black hands!

Take care, Sharon in TN

Do you think it would help if you had them drycleaned now that they are finished?

i've never had fabric act like that, but I HAVE had curtains shrink at the dry cleaners, so you might not want to go that route...

JoJo and Florence, I think I'm going to be on the safe side and not wash or dry clean them. They are just temporary curtains, to hide the drum risers on stage for weddings.

Take care, Sharon

Florence, you're right about that! I'll bet a bride would not be a happy camper if she had black along one side of her gown.

Take care, Sharon
