I used it right off the roll. Tag said it was "pre-shrunk" so I concentrated on sewing it tight enough not to need shrinking once sewn.

Two "failed" skins is enough to teach me to buy the right fabric from the get-go instead of fooling around with other stuff. :)

: for clothing use should be put through the washer and possibly dryer
