    Thanks in advance from all you experts on this board.
    I never wash batting, maybe I should have been doing it but have not. Since it is polyester I would think it would not be necessary since it does not shrink as cotton does. I am curious what replies you will get, maybe I have been doing it wrong? Good luck.

    I never wash batting but do toss it in the dryer for a few minutes after I get it out of the package to make it easier to handle.
    A bed without a quilt is like the night sky without stars.
