    Question Pre-washing Poly-viscose

    A question for Pete, Rocky, and anyone else who's made a poly-viscose kilt.
    We all know to wash cottons and poly-cottons to preshrink them before sewing.
    We all know that with wool, you can just start sewing.
    But do you wash your poly-viscose and dry it before you start measuring, cutting, and sewing?

    Thanks Rocky.
    That means I get right to the cutting and marking, with no mucking about with the washer and clothesline.
