Make “Everyday” Sewing Projects That Last | Fabric Care Tips & Tricks

December 23, 2022 by Jennifer Moore Leave a Comment

I love using cute cotton prints in my sewing projects, but it’s not always the most practical choice for functionality.

In this video, I share a few alternatives for quilting cotton, tips & tricks for pre-treating fabric or treating finished makes with Scotchgard fabric protector, plus test out a popular stain removal product to see if it works!
