I want to make a quilt for a friend as a gift, my first quilt. Do I wash the fabrics before and then wash the completed quilt? Since it will be made of pure cotton, are there any special tricks in ironing the completed quilt so it looks presentable? Do quilters use a special iron or press, or will regular steam iron do? Do you use spray starch or anything special on it?
Thank you for your help!
