I like to wash t-shirts before stitching , but I don't wash towels. I wash the wash away stabilizer sometimes if necessary. I have learned, do not touch an iron next to wash a way stabilizer. It shrivels up.
i usually wash anything before i start on it like right now i have a blanket in the washer that was my 5 year old sons when he was a baby it got wore out so i put it up and now iam gonna use it on a project that he will love lol instead of throwing it away
Thanks, I thought I remembered reading where it is best to wash towels first before stitching on them
