Shrinking Precuts?

[sassygranny]

My stash of precuts is growing. I haven't used any of them yet. Should they be preshrunk? Seems like they would not fare well in the wash.

It is not recommended to wash precuts.

I second that.... Precuts should not be prewashed..

NO. NO. NO! Don't ever wash your precuts!

Primitive Gatherings suggests using spray sizing on precuts (do not wash) before cutting your shapes. Spray and press until the precut is stiff, then cut - the sizing will preshrink your precuts. Trust me, it works; experience is a great teacher!
