Update on Cotton Sateen

Read all the advice.

Then:

I took courage in both hands and shoved the fabric in the washer on 40
degreesC quick wash. Used Persil non-bio and some baby-quality fabric
conditioner. Put on Aga till nearly dry, then ironed using Faultless
(NAYY) spray starch.

Outcome:

Has some creases, but has retained cripness, sheen and handle. Creases
should press out, I think, when cut to shape (i.e. smaller acreage).

Yippee! Going to mark it out this weekend... Now WHICH marker and
template should I use?

I do know what you mean, but I now have visions of you cooking the
fabric... Blame the pain killers - had tooth extracted this am.

Sounds good to go!

Depends... What pattern are you contemplating?
