I'm in your club too. I don't prewash unless it is a color that I think might bleed. I only use good quality fabric and I don't think that companies have quite the problems that they used to. Plus, I love the feel of new fabric!!

I prewash if I'm using some dark fabrics along with white. Also, I prewash fabric that I use to make quilts for my grandchildren since I read something about the chemicals in the fabric. I don't know that that is true but was afraid to risk it with the babies. Other than that, no prewashing for me.
