I usually prewash my fabrics - I could say for all those good reasons everyone else has already noted, but really I do it because I don't like the way fabric feels before it's washed! ;) Yep, it's a touchy-feely thing for me. I've also heard that if you pink the edges before you wash it won't fray, but I haven't tried that. I know I have pinking shears SOMEWHERE in my house, but they may be in THAT room I try not to go into right now because I need to get a new machete & explorer's hat.... :roll:
