I wash now after having a bad reaction to chemicals in fabric.

I only wash flannel before putting it in a quilt, unless the entire quilt is flannel. Otherwise, I don't wash anything until it is completely finished. I am mainly using batiks these and I use the "Recipe to Keep Colors from Running" that was posted on the quiltingboard by zozee. It works very well. I get my Color catchers from Target.
