    I am a prewasher. I don't want to smell the dye, chemicals or anything else they put in the fabric. I want my fabric to be clean and smell good.

    It's your choice. I always pre-wash and then throw it in the dryer. I have allergies so I don't want to deal with all the chemicals on fabric. Also, I want to know if a fabric is going to bleed,BEFORE I go to all work of making a quilt. It takes a lot of work to make a quilt and I would hate to have fabrics bleed and have to throw the quilt away.

    I've started on my quilt and decided not to prewash the fabric. I did iron it all though and re ironing as I work with the cut pieces.
