do a search on this forum..for "wash or not" or anything using the word wash..you will get a million answers...
some will, some won't and some will regret it if they don't, so be sure to search out the ""HELP!!" the OMG", the "MY fabric bled, now what do I do", the "what do I do now", the "my quilt is ruined", and the" I could just cry"topics as well!
I wash because I know how many chemicals are on the fabric..I would rather include the washing, hanging out to dry and pressing as part of my process, because to me it completes the process. NO half-baked quilting/sewing here! Less things to worry about that way!
