Prewashing fabric
#1
I just pre-washed about 20 fat quarters and when I took them out of the washing machine... Oh what a tangled mess. Anyone have any suggestions to keep them from fraying and getting all snarled?
Thanks, Susan

I have placed mine in the netted bags used for delicates in the washer. Also, have used a salad spinner when washing just a couple. The main reason i wash the fabric is to remove the chemicals, they seem to destroy my fingers so it doesn't take much to soak them for a bit, and then rinse with cean water and spin to get most of the water out.

Ok, so I don't know how accurate my theory is, but I notice that when I wash FQ with yardage, I get the least amount of tangling, also when the washer is pretty full,versus a small load. I don't even clip my corners anymore when I throw in a a full load...I am hoping this streak continues, lol.
