As I was reading through these, a thought hit me. What is the point of companies selling precut strips that will probably shrink and/or bleed when prewashed. They will no longer be the size they are meant to be. And why would a consumer buy fabric that is impractical to wash prior to using it? I think I'd just as well cut my own.
