Buy it, wash it, iron and fold it and notdo not cut till ready for a project. So happy to se so many are washing before cutting, it is just a little thing but a saver on the potary cutter's too the sizing dulls the blades faster.
Happy quilting to all

Yup, agree to all of the above. The LQS that I work at doesn't recomend pre-washing, but I am a die-hard. There was a disgruntled customer that brought in a quilt that had put Osnaburg as the filler or quilt batt. But when she bought it I said she should buy .1 m extra for every metre she bought, to allow for shrinkage, and to pre wash. Well , she didn't, and guess what. Her quilt batt shrunk, and her flannel didn't. The store replaced all of her fabric. I thought, you silly girl, why didn't you just pre-wash like I said????? From Auntie B in, suddenly it is spring in Saskatchewan.
