That is exactly why I don't wash pre-cuts. But, I don't wash any of my other fabric either. What if you are doing a block and you are using 10" layer cakes and you've washed them and now they are smaller, but you needed them to be 10"? I would never wash them, also, because of shrinkage. And jelly rolls and charms wouldn't be the correct size after you wash them...if you need them to be 2 1/2" or 5" for the charms. What would you do then? I do not pre-wash unless I think it will bleed.
