For those that wash large pieces of fabric - for whatever reasons you have - and do not wash small pieces of fabric -
Why not? It seems to me that small pieces of fabric have the same attributes as large pieces of fabric - shrinkage, chemicals, bleeding, etc.
I "wash before cutting" - a very small piece of badly behaved fabric can wreak a lot of havoc.
Think seasonings while cooking - it does not take much of some spices to make (or break) a dish. Same with a small piece of fabric that has bad manners -
