Do you prewash Warm and Natural Batting?
#1
I have a queen size that I am going to cut to use for the two baby quilts I am making. I have a front load washer/dryer combo (made for RVs) that has a delicate cycle. I cannot soak in it (that is what the directions on the package say to do). What soap and fabric softener do you use? I am not prewashing fabric because I think it is easier to cut and piece that way. JMHO

I prewash batting and fabric because I don't like the puckery look after washing.
W&N batting washes great and is so bright after. I don't use fab softener or a dryer sheet and if you take it right out of the dryer you don't have to iron it.
I figure if the quilt is going in the washer when it's done it's going in pieces beforehand. Haven't had a problem yet.

I put my batt in the washer, let it fill with cold water....soak 10 min...spin.... take it out & put it on air fluff in dryer until almost dry, then try to lay it flat until 100% dry.
It will still shrink some, but the end result isn't an "antique" looking quilt, just a well loved one.
