wash or not? before cutting quilt pieces
#41
I prewash somethings depending on the colour of it... but never if I bought it as a kit....I did that once and will never again. They had fussy cut a block for the kit and when I washed it I had to adjust everything because it wasn't the size anymore.
I have been to classes where the teacher tells you to pre-wash everything and then others that they say don't really I think it is all up to you.

My sister's quilt is the only one i've made from start to finish. I did not pre-wash, but did wash it after i was finished...Delicate, short wash, gentle rinse and hung outside to dry - no dryer...
My aunt's quilt, i also washed, but since she made it in the 50s, and it was a scrap quilt, i assume it was prewashed. Again, gentle wash and hung out to dry.
