The back side will be to the screen and will likely get damp/wet when it rains. I looked at your no-sew tutorial, but can't tell if that is made to stay semi-outdoors for a longer duration?? Which type should I buy? Thanks so much! We are so excited about a porch overhaul and your vibrant colors will be a centerpiece!abakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176044913082946661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282849059074004545.post-4869644165872746612013-04-07T20:35:22.865-04:002013-04-07T20:35:22.865-04:00Hello Heather,

Trust me, I tried to machine wash oilcloth once and I ruined the fabric. <br /><br />Laminated cotton can be washed and dried in a machine, I don't recommend doing so unless it's something small like a baby bib or changing mat. <br /><br />The twisting of the spin cycle creates some pretty wicked wrinkles on large pieces of laminated cotton fabrics and the dryer sets them. <br /><br />I recommend that you machine wash the small messy pieces and allow them to drip dry for longevity. <br /><br />Keep in mind that the whole point of slick fabrics is not having to machine wash. Just wipe it down and your done. <br /><br />What are you wanting to make? <br /><br />Best, <br />Kelly Kelly McCants https://www.blogger.com/profile/11257009777921454100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282849059074004545.post-28527321813578613022013-04-07T18:50:31.101-04:002013-04-07T18:50:31.101-04:00Can you wash any of these products?

So I can't say for sure that it is or isn't food safe. <br /><br />I can say that it is PVC and BPA free. From what I have read this is good indication, but of course I am NOT a scientist and I don't even play on TV. : ) <br /><br />As with all the big questions in life we have to educate ourselves and do what's right for us and out families. <br /><br />Hope this helps. I really wish I could give a concrete answer. I really do. : )Kelly McCants https://www.blogger.com/profile/11257009777921454100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282849059074004545.post-16567013132749225632011-06-29T13:00:10.208-04:002011-06-29T13:00:10.208-04:00Hey, thanks for entering the giveaway at Craft Bud...Hey, thanks for entering the giveaway at Craft Buds!
