Default Precuts shrinking

I posted the other day, indicating that I prewash all my precut fabrics. I use lingerie bags in the washer and a drying rack in the dryer. Well, I as thought the charms and layer cakes did shrink. I measured before and after.
Instead of a charm 5 x 5", they run 5" x 4 3/4". The layer cakes are now smaller than 10". They seem to have shrunk on crosswise grain. I will have to cut
them down to be a square. It would seem that the patterns for precuts, will result in a bit smaller end size. Any thoughts will be appreciated.
