I have a new front load HE washer and wondered if any of you have washed your quilts in this type of washer and if you have had problems. I always washed them in my top loader by filling with water and distributing the quilt soap before putting the quilt in. Since the new washer uses such a small amount of water and you are only supposed to use HE detergent, I need direction! Help please!

I have used mine to wash quilts. Works great because there is no way to put the machine off balance. I use the gentle cycle and cold water.

I use mine also. Normal wash ans normal he soap. Works fine for me. Do use a color catcher though.

What kind of detergent are you all using?

i didn't realize that not going off balance was possible with that type of machine

I only use liquid detergent in my front loader. Also, I use less than what the bottle says bcause of the low water. I wash quilts and everything else my family throws at me with no problems.

I make my own.

No problems using front loader washer. Just wash was as usual. Adding about 1/4 cup or little more, of white vinegar to rinse water insures no soap left in quilt.
