Once I'm all done I wash again and haven't had a problem! I use color catchers with each wash too!!
I do the same except I just put them in the lingerie bag.. I don't sew them together. I'll have to look into that again.. I have done that with yardage, but other than causing a mess...it didn't do the fabric any good! Maybe it only works on pre cuts! I don't re wash the batting either...I didn't know you could/should. I just bought some 100% cotton batting and did pre wash that...
