I am with Dunster. I also do not mind the "chore" of prewashing. When I am ironing I get to enjoy the fabric, I love looking at it and handling it. I guess I am weird. I really don't mind doing it and what a sense of accomplishment I get when I fold it up and put it into my stash. And when I am ready to quilt I know my fabric is ready to go and straightened and ready for the first cut with no fuss. (I am not a big starch user)
