Huh, I wasn't so much worried about bleeding. I never thought of that, however, I wouldn't use much red or darker fabrics. Do lighter color and pastels bleed at all? I was worried most about shrinkage. But I don't need to worry about that much?

My additional problem is, my dust allergies are killer. So unless I prewash, I get congested every time I work with the fabrics, which is not fun ;) I'm not looking forward to washing my precut jelly rolls so I can breathe while working with them. I will definitely hand wash those. I learned my lesson the hard way. I assumed my hand wash cycle on the washer would literally be like a hand wash. Um...NO!

Thanks for your help. I agree with craftybear, you all are so nice, and so many of you answer questions, and even if you differ in our opinions, it's all good. Thank you!

I cut a 1" strip of my fabric and wash it. Yellow is my biggest offender.
