1. Do you pre-wash your jelly rolls?
No I rarely wash yardage and NEVER wash my precuts

Yes I do trim the selvages off but do not trim them to the same length. I also check the width of the pieces and the "straightness" of them - ie open the strip out and make sure that you do not have a V shape

If they are pinked, I check the width. Most of the ones that I have purchased that were pinked, were 2.5" wide including the pinked edge . so I would probably sew my seam 1/4" from the outside edge.
