Should I prewash fat eighths?
I generally prewash fat quarters and larger. I'm now about to open 2 packs of fat eighths (which I've never used before) and not sure if I should prewash. One reason for wanting to prewash is because all of my smaller leftover pieces are prewashed and ready to use in future quilting projects. Whatever is left over in my fat eighth project will also be used in future "scrappy" projects and at this point will be too small to prewash. And I don't want to mix prewashed and not prewashed in one project. But I do want to prewash to shrink down a little and to get out some of the dark colors. I just don't want to shrink down too much or lose a bunch because of raveling or have it turn into a wonky shape that can't be straightened. Any thoughts?
