Should I wash all of my fabrics first, then cut, or not??
|
I was told to always wash before cutting.
|
I never wash my fabric before using it. I like it to be nice and crisp.
|
I am not a washer either!
With the exception of Flannels, I always pre-wash flannels. |
I, personally, do. The fabrics have not been hanging out in the cleanest places (warehouses, shipping containers, storerooms, etc.), so I always wash mine, but many people do not. Except for flannel - always wash flannel, several times.

you will get a million answers but it inevittably ends up with your personal prefference

it is really a personal choice and a choice based on the color of your fabric and type of fabric. I don't worry to much about washing unless it is a batik or red or ones I would suspect of being a bleeder. Truly it is up to you to wash or not to wash. And the same with washing after you have finished the quilt.

yes, wash
I experimented & found diff fabrics will shrink diff amounts |
thank you everyone! I think I'll try not washing the first time around :) I'm ready to get to cutting!
