Here's what you do: You pin the edges together along the selvedge and wash, rinse, dry! As an added bonus to doing it this way you may not even have to iron it! (Depends on the fabric)

I think the advice that one doesn't need to wash fabric before cutting it (especially for an item that will be washed again) is right up there with thinking that one can't get pregnant the first time one has sex.

Don"t wash fabric that you are going to use for any fussy cutting or kalidioscope projects because we had folks in a class once who did and their projects would never come out
the way they were supposed to be. I don't know why but they don't.
