Might think about the project--for example: who washes tree skirts or Christmas stockings, and most wall hangings? Not very many of us is my guess. I personally do not prewash and have had nor problems. I've been quilting for years. However, many swear by prewash, so I think you have to decide what your are comfortable with. How's that for a "non-answer".
