Working with an Angelina Fiber applique
Hi, all. I have been making a quilt based on a copyright free NASA photo of a space "gas cloud" with stars. It's a beautiful colorful picture, and required lots of thought on how to get anywhere close to the look. I think I have managed the gas cloud reasonably well, using angelina fibers and constructing an applique from it. It's quite large--about 42" x 45". I've now stitched it on my center "block" and covered it with black veiling to give it some stability it wouldn't have otherwise.
I am wondering, have any of you ever washed angelina fiber appliques? I don't want to wash it in the machine, but I think it might be good to give it a gentle hand wash in cold or very slightly warm water when I complete the quilt, so I can block it and get all the various starch and glue residues out. If it can't be washed, it will look ok, but I think it would be best to wash it if possible. I've worked so hard on this, I don't want to ruin it. Any experience out there with this?
If you were me would you leave well enough alone, or try a gentle hand wash? :?
Also, have any of you ever shipped anything with angelina appliques? Did it wrinkle?

Hi
I made Angelina "fabric" by fusing the fibers to iron on fusible. I cut these in small pieces and add (fuse) it to my fabric collage. To complete the collage it get washed vigorously (to set the raw edges) The Angelina emerged fine from this process. I cannot comment on folding the quilt- have not observe that yet.
