I guess since most of our fabric comes from overseas you just don't know what is on the boat with it. Now if you still don't want to wash your fabric, that is fine by me but I thought y'all might be interested.
Many years ago when my children were small, I went to purchase a coat at a discount store. Just before trying on one...Someone had just tried one one and a snake was in the sleeve of the coat they tried on. So I don't care what you buy, you need to have it cleaned before putting on or next to your body...it is just too dangerous.
