Do you measure the size of your fabrics before and after dunking them?
I've found that fabrics do not shrink/relax at the same rate. Some stay the same size - a very few have stretched - some only shrink widthwise - some shrink lengthwise - and a very few shrink/contract in both directions.
One of the pieces that shrank the most was a Roc-Lon tea-dyed muslin that said "pre-shrunk"
