    Beginning quilt question!!!! Washing fabric!

    Good afternoon! I need help...I understand the need to prewash fabric before starting...does that apply to jelly rolls or charm packs? I would then they would completely shred?

    Thanks for any advice!

    Generally precuts are not prewashed. Many manufacturers tell you not to pre-wash.

      I steam iron my pre cuts A LOT to get ev shrinkage out of the way and then wash the finished quilt before giving it away to make sure colors are all right and pesky additives are washed away...

          It's a quote from a book by Beth Ferrier:
