Duvet cover

Hi

I have been asked to make matching curtains, duvet, pillowcase and cushion. I am backing the Duvet with white sheeting rather than face fabric to keep cost down, my question is:

Should I pre-wash the fabric and sheeting?.

Obviously the fabric can be machine washed

Regards

JE

Re: Duvet cover

Personally, I wouldn't as I think it spoils the crisp newness of the fabric. If you are worried about shrinkage then it might have been stated as a % by the supplier, if not, make the cover a few cm larger in each direction to allow for it.
