So - if a precut will shrink or distort if it washed before incorporating it into an item, it will not do that if it is sewn into something first and then washed?????
(I know at least one board member wlill state that adequate quilting will stabiliize things - but i do wonder if that member measured the item before and after washing.)
I prefer to know how a fabric will be after it has gone through the washing process before i cut/use it
Think about our seasonings when we cook - it does not take much of some of them to affect a large batch of food.
So in quilting - a small piece of "bad" fabric can spoil a large project.
