QuiltnNan, that thread you posted may be the tipping information for me to start prewashing everything. However, I have tons of fat quarters and wonder if those wash okay (I'm just wondering if they get distorted in shape). I have an expensive front loading LG washer and I HATE it. It is only 1 1/2 years old and I can't wait to get a new one. The clothes come out of it all tangled up. My daughters PJ pants get wrapped together (she usually has 5 to 6 pairs in the laundry a week) with other items and I have to untangle everthing before putting it in the dryer. Plus, the wash cycle washes everything in the equivalent of a shallow puddle.

So, if you prewash some of your fabric, you really have to prewash all of it. If I use a large portion of the fabric left over after washing and cutting for my current quilt, how do you keep track of what has been washed and what hasn't. I have way, way too much fabric to prewash it all now.
