Comments on: Getting Fabric to Play Nice in the Washing Machine https://historicalsewing.com/getting-fabric-play-nice-washing-machine 19th Century Costuming for Those Who Dream of the Past Wed, 07 Aug 2019 23:09:43 +0000 hourly 1 By: Cleaning & Storing the Costumes We Make https://historicalsewing.com/getting-fabric-play-nice-washing-machine/comment-page-1#comment-243598 Thu, 21 Jun 2018 16:02:06 +0000 http://historicalsewing.com/?p=3212#comment-243598 […] 1. To wash or to dry clean? That is the question. …Well, really that’s the question we need to be asking BEFORE we sew up a garment. How you want to clean the final project is how you should think about pre-treating the fabric and trim that will go into it. […]

This prevents water spots later on, as the silk is now effectively one large, uniform water spot.

It also has a damp dry setting for easier pressing. I didn’t buy it thinking of fabric in mind, but if you should ever NEED a new drier look for those options, they are very helpful. Also, mine has a ‘rapid refresh’ which is good for tossing in fabric or garments to take out wrinkles and etc. It works well on silk and wool garments if you don’t want to go to the dry cleaner’s.

Thanks for this timely entry 🙂 I’m going out to buy cotton fabric today. How did you know???

I have to use the coin laundry mats….*cries*

Personally no. I’ve found it changes the characteristics, usually more soft and sometimes with a crinkled look set into the fibers.
