Oh how I wish I would listen when someone told me to wash my fabric first because I have finished projects only to wash it when complete an it shrunk.Sound familiar. How many have done this. Also I have washed some fabric only to have a mess .Wish I knew to zigzag stitch it all on unfinished ends. Another great video for beginners.
