Prewash thrift store shirts?
#1
Getting ready to cut up some thrift store shirts for a quilt and am wondering should I prewash the shirts. Kinda think that I should but wouldn't they have already be washed and shrunk?

Ditto ... straight from my car to the washer when I come home.
Likewise, even new fabric goes right to the washer.
This way I know everything in my home has been washed and is ready to cut when the notion strikes me!
