Hand wash the jelly roll strips an put them in a nylon net bag in the dryer. You won't have too much thread unraveling that way.

And I prewash every fabric I buy (except 5" or 10" blocks) because I found a major problem with a fabric only because it was prewashed. Using it 'unwashed' would have ruined the quilt I planned to make using it.
We all have our reasons for why we do what we do, and that's ok! |
Oh, i just love these quilts, thank you for sharing.
|
you can preshrink your jelly roll fabric by dunking it in hot water and the drying it if you are concerned about it.
|
I have mixed fabrics washed and not washed and never had an issue or could tell which was washed or not. Hope this helps.

And thank you for jellyroll shrinkage tip, riutzelj. I may have to do that, just because I now know I can. (Old habits die hard...) |

This can be done fairly easily - and you can just lay the strips out on towels and air dry if you are worried about fraying/raveling. It really is NOT that big of a deal to wash strips. I've had to, when one of my cats 'anointed' some things I had left out a few years ago. I was not thrilled about it, but it can be done. |
