Default Do you prewash batting when making a jacket?

I have never prewashed batting even though I do prewash my fabric before making a quilt. I am going to make a quilted jacket using batiks & have washed the batiks. Do you prewash batting when making a jacket? I am not using the sweatshirt method, the blocks will be quilted to the batting. I never thought about the batting shrinking before. The batting is 80% cotton 20% poly.
