Linen and linen blend fabrics behave
a little differently than quilting cottons.
Be sure to prewash your fabric as
linen shrinks more than cotton, and
use lots of pins to keep pieces from
stretching. You may also want to use
a slightly bigger seam allowance than
normal since linen edges are prone
to unraveling.
