Washing fat quarters???
#1
I have only bought a yard or two here and there for small projects. I received some fat quarters in the mail today for a turning twenty quilt I have in mind. Should I wash them first on gentle cycle or something? I afraid that they'll get all frayed and I'll loose half the quarter. All my other fabrics I just through in the machine prior to using them.

I have never had a problem with washing mine. I wash almost everything before I use it. Depending on the material I have only had a problem with a few that get all that stringy stuff but after cutting that off and pressing them again everything was fine.
Just my two cents worth!

I wash all my fat quarters in the machine. The edges do fray, but only by a quarter-inch or so. The biggest problem is untangling and trimming all the frayed bits when I do many at once. One of these days I'll get a mesh bag to wash my FQs in!
Tangled!
