Welcome to the board.

I am in the wash before cutting group. I avoid precuts because I think if other fabrics should be washed / shrunk before sewing them, so should precuts.

I usually use steam when pressing . I don' t usually use sizing or starch.

Eventually, you will do what is "right" for you.

There are about a gazillion other threads on the topic. So far, it's still some do, some don' t.
