I have yardage of Tartan worsted wool that fiends brought back from Scotland for me. The plan is to make throw pi;;own for them. Do I nee to use another fabric such as muslin for a stabilizer. I know the covers will need dry cleaning rather than washing when the time comes. Thanks for you help.

In reply to Jenny Johnson. Hi Jenny. If you are doing this by machine, try decreasing your stitch length slightly. This will make the actual gathers of the fabric a little smaller and help it to lay flatter. Hope this helps!
