<![CDATA[My fellow #sewing folk, I have a lunchtime quiz for y'all.]]>My fellow folk, I have a lunchtime quiz for y'all. You're making 50-ish intricately shaped bags with cotton broadcloth. They cannot be washed because it would destroy the shaping. Do you bother with the usual pre-washing if you know from experience that the fabric behaves the same, pre-washed or no, and doesn't trigger your allergies?

(Note: I do this for a living. Textbook answers not required.)

(Edited question to more closely reflect actual scenario.)

But then I've never done 50 of one thing, and even if it's just a bag and not a full victorian dress :) the amount of fabric involved may change the convenience of washing a lot
