Do you prewash jelly rolls and charm packs?
I think this has been discussed before but I'd like to know if any of you have ever prewash jelly rolls and charm packs? And if so, what is the result? I'm worried about colour fastness of the jelly rolls and charm packs.
Thank you gml |
I have washed a jelly roll in mesh laundry bags because I intended to use it for a jelly roll race quilt where the exact measurements don't really matter. I've also washed a charm pack from which I cut appliques, so any shrinkage didn't matter on that front either. Don't know if I'd wash if I needed the exact 2.5" or 5" for a specific pattern. The packaging does say not to wash.

i also have prewashed them in the mesh laundry bag, but i do not dry them in dryer.

I've never washed them. Will use a color catcher on first wash instead.
|
I never wash them, moda has on the website to not wash them.
|
I pre wash by swishing them in the sink with a few drops of washing machine soap and warm water. Then I spin them in a salad spinner. I usually wash like colors together. Don't have much problem with colors, but sometimes the fabric really shrinks!

Once you do, you won't do it again. LOL

No I do not pre-wash any fabric that I use for piecing. I have washed backing that I fear might run and I always use Color Catchers!
