Not to start the debate again about whether to prewash or not, but I always prewash and I serge the edges before hand. My darling dog, Annie, loves it. I just serge a huge stack and throw the finished one on the floor. She is delighted to have a cozy nest to lay on. Then I sort the colors and wash. Now I don't have to worry about big clumps of threads for me to cut off and screw up my fabric, which I am certainly very capable of doing quite well, thank you very much!

I would have said a not-nice word, but then, you were going to cut it up anyway, right? Thanks goodness it wasn't a quilt!!
I don't have a serger, I tried sewing and that was too much hassle. So now i pink the raw edges before I wash, and there is usually little or now shreddign. Better yet, I can tell instantly which of my bolts have been washed and which haven't (I can't decide which way I'm going with this issue).
