Of course if you are allergic, or have other issues, or preferences, just keep doing what you are doing.
Well, she may think that's true, but I just bought some burgundy fabric AND I prewashed it, and my color catchers came out pink! It went back in the washer until there were no more pink color catchers. I wasn't will ing to give up on this beautiful fabric!
