if you are worried about any of the strips running you can test those strips- but not wash them all- if you do have a bleeder you can rinse it until it stops- then hang to dry- or wrap in a towel to absorb as much water as possible- then press -
if you decide you need to pre-wash them using a mesh laundry bag helps keep the tangling and fraying to a minimum.
it is a personal choice- but normally the manufacturers do not intend their pre-cuts to be pre-washed.

I have used many different jelly rolls and I have never pre-washed them - even some very bright colors and batiks - I have never had a problem yet. Just have fun with the jelly rolls - they really speed up the process and the colors always work together - it makes people think you have a great way with colors. Enjoy.

If one has OCD about washing things - one can sort the strips into colors - soak them in hot water - take them out and roll them in a towel to remove excess moisture - and hang to dry - if you don't have a drying rack - plastic hangers will work or the shower curtain rod or towel bars.
I would not wash them in a machine - but a hot water soak will take care of any shrinkage and let you know if there are any dye issues.
I know that over 95% of the people would not bother - but if one WANTED to, it can be done.
