[quote=pvquilter What does everyone think if we don't prewash our fabrics for this swap. If you have done it already that is OK otherwise I really don't think it is necessary. Let's vote.[/quote]
I only prewash for the swaps or for black or red fabrics. I NEVER have had a problem with good quality fabric shrinking or colors running or fading. Perhaps this was the case years ago, but I really don't think it happens now. And it does seem a waste of time washing the fabric to take out the sizing, ironing the fabric and then spraying starch on the fabrics to make them easier to work with.
