I need 2 yards of this Riley Blake fabric from the "Fly a Kite" collection. I cannot find it anywhere. Please, if anyone can help me out here I would appreciate it.

I have been given a large supply of fabric scraps - many are very small pieces. I would like to use these in a scrappy quilt but but I'm not sure whether they have been pre-washed. I hate to think of the ravelly mess I would end up with if I had to wash all the pieces first. I would think the quilting...

I'm still fairly new at all of this. The patterns I've made so far have either been from a book or class and those had the fabric requirements and color suggestions. My local shop is having their year end blow out sale tomorrow and Saturday and I'm thinking about picking up some fabric. I...

I always machine wash my fabric before I use it in a quilt. But I'm new to using pre-cuts. How does one deal with washing jelly rolls, layer cakes or charm packs before use? I'm afraid to wash them for fear of them fraying to bits. Or do you just hope for the best that the fabric won't run...

Hi, I'm usually the one that reads a lot of the posts but hardly ever contributes something myself, but tonight I'm at a loss. I have created a new table runner using the Seminole Table Runner pattern. When I lay the runner out flat, the edges pucker. The center of the runner is fine; it's...

I purchased some "Quilters Solid White" fabric to make some small table cloths. I always prewash and starch the fabric before using the them. For this project I purchased 9 yards and thought it would be too much for the washing machine at one time, so I cut a piece that was 74 inches long....
