Me, I always wash fabric when I bring it home. I don't like the smell of it or the feel. I want to know what it's going to be like after it's laundered. To me, the sizing and dye take away from the real fabric.
I think fabric sizing is a way of hiding something...washing reveals the real fabric.. the quality.
I also feel this way about unwashed fabric - and why I avoid pre-cuts.
Now - if washed fabric precuts were available - - -
What would you consider a "reasonable" price to pay for a 100 piece stack of washed 2.5 x 5 inch pieces?
(Even though I have a small drawer full of novelty fabrics cut this size - I'm hard-pressed to think of any other size cut that they will work well with. If I sew two pieces together, I end up with a 4.5 x 5 block. If I sew three together, I end up with a 6.5 x 5 block)
