working with linen

[madamemodiste]

Oh, LJ Sewing Oracle, what is the best way to pre-wash and dry the linen I got at Joann's for Jason's motoring coat. Temp for wash? Temp for dryer?...or should I hang dry? I haven't dealt with linen in so long.

I was mine on whatever temp is appropriate for the color and then put the dryer on the gentlest setting.

I've heard of some people stay stitching the ends to keep it from unraveling but I've found it doesn't really unravel enough to warrant it, in my opinion.
