Pre-wash yardage fabric to be used with turnovers?
#1
If I am making a quilt with turnovers and charms, would I prewash the background fabric and backing? I know not to pre-wash the pre-cuts, but what about the yardage fabric I use with the turnovers/charms and the backing? I have always been a prewasher, so this is new to me. Should I stick to the theory of..."pre-wash it all or not at all?"
Thanks.
Thanks.

I would wash everything as I had a fabric run after washing.
If using small pieces just swish them in the sink ttowel dry and press. That way you will know if any run and you can treat before hand.

I see you are in Ohio. Are you going to the Columbus show in JUne?
I live just across the river in Canada and Hubby said he would take me.

I always pre-wash. For small pre-cuts I rinse in the sink by hand and press in a towel, then iron dry. The chemicals in the fabric really bothers my hands, and I can't stand the thought of something bleeding after I go to all that work.

Great for half square triangles.
