I don't know what the "rules" are, but I did some bath towels without prewashing. I used a sticky water soluble stabilizer for the back and did an overlay with WSS, stitched and ended up washing the towels to remove the sticky. I didn't note any shrinkage on either the cheap towels or the more expensive ones. Have not done kitchen towels.
