I bought some Jenny Beyer fabric and it came with instructions to wash in case of running dyes.

I use a color catcher when I wash the completed quilt. They are made by different companies with different names, but they work.

pre vs no to prewash

Just remember that most fabric is printed overseas where there is no control on the chemicals used in the printing process.
