Never thought of that. But I guess I need to start prewashing all material after reading what so many have said on this board about prewashing. I've just enjoyed working with it before it became flimsy after washing the material. One backing that I washed got so ragged on the ends, that it was discouraging to use it, but I did.
If I'm going to prewash my fabric I always run a zigzag stitch across both ends to keep it from fraying like that. It cuts off easily when you square up the end. i use a small tight zigzag.
