I have had good results drying long pieces of fabric in the great big dryers at some laundromats.
They do wad up/tangle dreadfully in small dryers.
I try to remember to look at the grain lines of fabric before purchasing it. Especially to see if the design is printed on-grain.
If the design is printed off-grain, nothing will fix it. The choices are to live with it or not purchase it.

It depends on what I am making whether I prewash or not. If it is a quilt, I definitely prewash. I am working on one now, that one of the blues was a bleeder. It would have ruined the quilt had I not prewashed. I also like to get the shrinkage out of the way.
