I'm glad to read your post. I MUST wash all my fabric before working with it. Otherwise I get nasty contact dermatitis from the chemicals.

The starch put the sizing back in and allows the layers to slide for you as you are getting the layers matched up.
I had NO problems!!

As always ... I am glad it is pre-washed ... no fretting about shrinkage or colours running later.
