Hi Nehzat,

Should I prewash muslin before using on a project? I will be making a dress

Thanks.

Kate

Re: Pre Shrinking Muslin Fabric

 Dear Kate,

If you are using the muslin to do a test of your pattern, you just need to press it with steam. This way after joining the pieces together pressing will not affect the fit of the muslin. However if you plan to wear the muslin, you should be pre shrinking it.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
