PILLING!!!!!! - Page 2

I actually prefer when garments have rayon blended in. It makes it glide over my curves.

I don't think it's the fabrics, I think it's the way people are washing and caring for the fabrics. I don't care what the tag says, I do not toss things into the washer and dryer. I just don't and I never have any pilling problems. If something is a knit or "jersey like" or "chiffon like"; I hand wash in cool water and hang it to dry a metal rack that I bought from Amazon. Sure, it all says machine wash and usually machine dry......I use my common sense.

I have had numerous tops pill terribly before I even washed them. Yes I’m one who sometimes doesn’t wash first. I’m really upset and sad about this pilling because I love logo so much

@TX-starlight I have to admit I've never had any Susan Graver items pill. She has said on air that they are coated to prevent that.

There is no way on this earth that I will ever hand wash all my clothes and hang them to dry.

I just use the delicate cycle with cold water. Hang to dry. No pilling yet on any brand. I do find that all acrylic does tend to pill. Stopped buying sweaters with that frabric.

@luvdoodles When I see the word acrylic, even if it's only 10%, I will not buy. I received a SG open front cardigan, beautiful teal color, pilled totally.

@151949 Read my post again. I've never had her items pill either. I own MANY SG clothing & never had pilling. In fact, I don't think I've seen any polyester pill. (Not sure if you mis-read, or agreeing with me,lol).

Friction and heat cause pilling. Even my cashmere sweaters pill under the arms and across the bust. If I do not put something on over them the seatbelt causes a lot of friction and rubbing, creating pilling. I had to wear an old lab coat over my clothing when I drove until some of the girls on here told me about a device you can buy at Walmart in the auto department that prevents it. It is called a seatbelt cover, less than $15 and saves you a mint on clothing.
