Default Musings on washing vs not washing fabric

I am firmly in the "wash before I cut" camp for a number of reasons, mostly because I'm not a fan of how a quilt looks after it's washed if the fabric wasn't preshrunk. However, I'm in the middle of a quilt from pre-cut fabrics so I couldn't wash them. I am shocked at how much more lint there is in the bobbin area of my machine. It is significantly more than normal. Of all the reasons I prewash, lint in the machine was not one of them. Has anyone else noticed the difference?
