Pre-washing is soooo necessary… not just for dye issues, but for accurate piecing – since your fabrics will shrink at various rates.
I use my serger set for a simple 2 thread serge, and serge raw edges before I drop them in the wash! I usually just fold and put up – since I’ll have to iron them when I get ready to cut!

I only prewash reds, and a few of darker colours depending upon the manufacturer of fabric.

I can totaly relate: no laundry facilities when we are so used to it is just the worst. I love the prewash phase of my projects. the handling, pressing and folding are such tactile pleasures to us fabriholics.
