Ok I do buy the precuts from Moda only. I have had no shrinkage problems with not washing first. I also have books for 5" Sqs, jelly rolls, turnovers, layer cakes. They go together fast for charity quilts and you don't have to gather all the colors by yourself. So it comes in handy at times. I also buy 1/2 yd etc when fabric is on sale. Moda has very little if any shrinkage. IMHO
