How to Wash Fabric without Tangling
Layer the material in an accordion manner, making sure not to have the layers more than 5-6. Fold raw edges under before pinning. Take large brass safety pins and pin along the edges, making sure to catch all the layers, every 6-9 inches all the way around.
Wash, dry and then iron. You will note when ironing how much easier it is when the fabric is washed and dried in this manner.
