Yes. I wash, dry and starch the whole piece before i start cutting. BTW, I have an Accucut Studio and still starch everything. Makes cutting and piecing so much easier.

I've started washing every single piece in my stash. I started doing to because once I came up with an idea, I would pick out the fabric, wash it, line dry (we don't have a dryer) then iron. By the time it was all done, I had moved on to somethingelse. This way I can just grab fabric from my stash, give it a quick pressing and on with my quilt project.
Now every new piece of fabric coming through the door is washed before it makes to to the sewing room. |
You are going to get as many different answers as there are people. I myself do not prewash any of my fabric. I have never had any problems with mine. I also like the crinkly look kinda old fashioned look of the fabric. I have never had any problems with running of dies either. But sometimes you can tell by the way the fabric feels. I have never starched fabric either. But that is just me.

I always wash it when I bring it home, before I add it to my stash. I don't want to worry about bleeding, and then I know that it's all the same, not some washed and others not.

Very True... I like the feel of washed fabric better - so I aways wash mine. |
No, I do not prewash my fabric.

I always wash and iron before cutting. I like starched fabric, too, but I cannot buy the blue liquid starch around here any more and when I use the spray starch, I get overspray on everything and I hate it, so I use unstarched fabric - so far, so good though.
