Hi CindyW
I prewash all my fabric. I have not read all the posts, I had surgery and have not been on for quite some time. I just Clip a small corner on all of the 4 corners and it prevents most of the raveling. I also am fortunate to have outside clothes lines. I hang the fabric on the lines and let the wind and sun dry them. It seems to add back some of the body and cliping each corner off prevents most of the raveling. I fold it different than it was folded on the bolt and so as to change the center crease. I then press it before I begin to cut.
