I think this is your answer. THere are many threads on the QB about pre-washing and this is the reason. Small pieces or precuts don't have to be machine washed, just a sink full of water and a touch of soap will do the trick. Toss in the dryer or on a line till damp dry and iron when needed. I put small stuff in a pillow case when drying in dryer. Washing insures NO-SHRINKING!
