Do you have a better idea?
#1
Ok...so I'm now pre-washing every piece of fabric that comes in the door. I've done this off and on for years and have a good stash. The puzzling thing for me is now how to tell if it's all pre-washed? I don't cherish the idea of having this same question come up in the future. I now wash, dry, iron and neatly fold or put fabrics on a bolt keeper. What I've changed is that I now put a small quilting (basting) pin at the edge of the fabric. (I think worth the investment (purchase pins on sale in lg container with 50% off coupon from JoAnns or where every you can. I can easily tell now if it's been washed without a problem. Do you have a better idea?

I've heard you snip the edge at a diagonal on both sides by selvage, it then isn't to ravel as much in washer plus you can see it and know it's been washed Hope this helps but must remember after using some must resnip //edges:):)
