I don't prewash anything let alone small pieces like charm squares and jelly rolls. Waaaaaaaaaay too much hassle.

I choose not to pre-wash the pre-cut packs. I don't want to have to re-cut the pieces due to any shrinking that may occur (and it usually does). And, ironing all of those pieces would drive me crazy. I am a fan of the color catchers and Synthrapol for washing completed quilts to avoid any unwanted setting of colors.

I pre wash by swishing them in the sink with a few drops of washing machine soap and warm water. Then I spin them in a salad spinner. I usually wash like colors together. Don't have much problem with colors, but sometimes the fabric really shrinks!

I have never prewashed charm squares, jelly rolls or any of my quilting fabric. And I have never had any problems. I only wash quilts in cold-warm water, never hot. Once washer is done, I am there right away to transfer the quilts to the dryer. I don't allow the quilt to sit while wet...that is when bleeding will happen.

I don't wash them before using them.

What is a good color catcher?
