The fabric can be washed or unwashed. But works best if pressed. I cut it as close to the size of the die as possible to avoid waste.

I would recommend the set to make 12" blocks and the book mix and match which provides patterns to use only those dies in that set

Is the fabric layered when you cut it? And do you have to cut the width of the fabric down from the 42-44 inches in order to use the accuquilt?
To be honest - I don't pre wash. I found that using scraps is great - but if I use yardage I cut it down to a strip just over the size of the die. My waste ended up to be tiny strings I wouldnt be able to use anywhere else. I do think it cuts down on waste. At least for me.
