Pretty much the same thing here, and I keep a small scissors in the laundry room for this task. I have been able to reduce it to *most* of the time I don't have too much fray to worry about ....
I wash on a delicate cycle
I only wash 1/2 yard cuts or larger in the washing machine. Anything smaller gets washed in the kitchen sink, then dried in the dryer.
