<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 60949, member: 78"]Hi Pat,</p><p> Next week is time to move all the textiles around. Every six months I take them out, shake them and refold a different way and repack. I am always buying old cotton pillowcases to store stuff in. I buy new polyester batting and wash it at least five times before using. The conservationists at the MET told me to do that before using it. They say it sometimes has trace elements of different chemicals in it from manufacturing and always wash at least 5 times, better 8-10 but my stuff is not like the stuff they handle. NO sharp creases and refold several times a year. Twice is all I can manage. I will post some photos then change that to take some photos then and post later. I forgot school is out and I have my charges from 7AM to 6PM.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
