Hi I'm making a shoulder cover with fleece and want to add a cotton trim. Does anyone know if the prewashed cotton will make the fleece twist or move after washing?? Thanks for your help. Marge Canada |

I don't know why it would twist or curl. Maybe if you have the cotton stretched it would ripple.

| Hi Marge, I have made many baby blankets with fleece on one side and cotton baby prints on the other. Also have made Pro football throws with team color fleece on one side and material with the "Patriots" print on the other. My grown sons love them as I also did the "Red Sox" blankets. They wash well and you shouldn't have any problem with them. Good Luck. |

The only other thing I would add is you might want to wash your cotton fabric and dry it so that the shrinkage is taken care of before you sew it with the fleece as 100% cotton shrinks when it is washed and dried and the fleece doesn't. Patsy Patsy
