I never prewash my fabric.
|
I don't wash, I have enough laundry in my life without bringing it in.

I don't prewash unless it is black or red and I am using white with it. I like the 'shrunk up" look and it also takes less starch to get it to a nice crisp feel before cutting.

I don't. I do wash the quilt in cold water after it is done.

I'm in your club too. I don't prewash unless it is a color that I think might bleed. I only use good quality fabric and I don't think that companies have quite the problems that they used to. Plus, I love the feel of new fabric!!
|
I don't wash when I buy new fabric. I do, however, wash when I buy from goodwill, thrift shops, and garage sales.

I was make some pillow case and tried to wash them and turn out to frayed so bad I tought i would have tarow it out
|
I prewash if I'm using some dark fabrics along with white. Also, I prewash fabric that I use to make quilts for my grandchildren since I read something about the chemicals in the fabric. I don't know that that is true but was afraid to risk it with the babies. Other than that, no prewashing for me.
