COPD and allergies are different lung situations. I also pre-wash all fabric because of the odor of the fabric and my experience having seen individuals go into stores and wipe their perspiration from their brows using the fabric on the bolt. I rarely buy pre-cuts because for one thing they are not all cut equal all the time. I don't want to have to deal with the other items like Synthrapol nd the like after all the work put into a quilt and see a mess of bleed all over. Some odors and perfumes can trigger an instant migraine for me. Everybody is different and their situations are nothing to laugh at.

Ginger, that cracked me up!.... I have COPD and other lung problems, but unwashed fabric doesn't bother me.
To the OP, hope you find a solution.
