It sounds easy to throw them in the washer and so what, but, I would not advise you to do this with any amount of pieces without serging around the raw edges as it makes a really tight wad of threads to trim. I want to find a better way to prewash. I like to hear the input from those more experienced than myself. I'm a newby.

I guess I have a higher tolerance for fraying than some people do, but I'd rather deal with that than spend time preparing each piece. (I even use the same method for all scraps, no matter the size.)

soak them in soap water in my salad spinner (purchased separate one for my laundry room,which holds the water, take out the basket and spin), rinse, spin and lay on towel to dry overnight.

Agreed - and I haven't lost any yet! Had one shrink beyond belief but that had nothing to do with fraying! :-)

I just snip off a little bit of the corners. That stops them from raveling.

If you prefer not to wash your fabric, Snip off a bit and put it in a cup of water. Stick it in the micro until the water gets hot. If the water changes color, then it needs to be washed. If not, is safe to use as is.
