I wash all my CT fabric, however, I will say I've never had anything run and the shrinkage was minimal if anything. I wanted to starch these and I dip starch after washing.

I do not need to prewash the Connecting Threads fabric, because they do not put a lot of stinky sizing on their fabric. I prewash everything I get from other sources. Just pressing fabric with sizing will make me ill.
I have never had Connecting Threads fabric bleed, shrink, or ravel more than other fabric and I have bought batiks from them. Probably half of my stash is Connecting Threads fabric. I love it. |
I never prewash, except batiks. When I first started quilting, I prewashed charm squares. What a tangled mess!
|
I pre-wash only because I do alot of swaps and it is required; and because the quilts I make are for the NICU (preemie babies) and I am asked to do this. Otherwise, I do not pre-wash fabric for wall hangings or purses or table runners.

I pre-wash everything. I want to make sure if it shrinks it will do it before I put it in to a quilt.

I have been ordering fabric and thread from Connecting Threads
for the last 5 years. I am very happy with their fabrics. They are organic cotton grown in the US and dyed in American territories. I always wash my fabric before quilting. The DK and Red colors may bleed so I always play it safe with any fabric. Lowell ;) |
I don't usually prewash unless it's for a swap. That's just me though. Can honestly say that I've never had any issues with anything from CT
|
Never prewash unless I think it might bleed.
|
I've never prewashed my fabrics in the past but since joining this board and reviewing posts on the subject, did prewash the fabrics ordered from Connecting Threads. only the 1 red fabric bled and I used a couple of color catchers in the wash so the fabric is still red and white. don't know that I'll prewash again as the ironing of the fabric was a bit%@!
|
I haven't felt the need to wash their fabrics first. They feel so nice and soft. A lot of fabrics I get at local fabric stores feel full of sizing, so I do wash.
I have bought a lot of Connecting Threads batiks, and I LOVE how they feel. Soft and nice thickness. |
