First time quilter here. I bought a few 1/4yd cuts not too long ago, and I know it's best to prewash. I read somewhere that if you cut each corner of the fabric off with pinking shears, it wouldn't ravel in the wash. I did that, and well.....

I had a raveled mess when they came out of the washer. I mean my fabric looked like some kind of animal. LOL My husband attacked it and at least got the yardages apart, but OMG it took forever. Aside from sewing the cut ends of the fabric, are there any other tricks and tips for this?
