Do I wash fabric or not?
#21
I pre-wash fabric to check for bleeding, to insure a good bond with fusible, to insure even shrinkage, and to check quality of questionable fabric. As my dad used to say, "better to be safe than sorry" :)

I would prewash all fabric to used in applique project to allow for shrinkage of both base fabric and applque fabric before they are fused together. Other fabric that I use for quilt making I do not wash since I want the crinkle look when finished.
