3. is there someway I can keep the material from getting any more ragged during the wash?
Appreciate your thoughts

Of the 35lbs of fabric........about 1/2 was polyester & satin - of the remaining 1/2 were solids and the other half assorted colors...
Thanks everyone for your suggestions; I burn tested, then trimmed edges with a pinking sheer rotary blade and then washed and folder.........finally finished except for the clean up
