Well, I guess here's another opinion. I just finished binding a baby quilt -- bound it by cutting the binding on the bias of a red/white stripe. BEFORE I cut the binding, I put the whole piece in a very large stew pot and cooked it (simmer only) for 20 minutes in a mixture of Rit dye fixative and water. You should have seen the water -- very pink, but no bleeding into the white stripes. Go figure? But, I just can't afford to take the chance, so I guess I'm committed to prewashing!
LOL A number of opinions is right!
