NO NO NO, I would never trust a commercial washer or dryer with a quilt. It does not matter what size it is. You do not know what was put in the machines (greasy work clothes, rags, rugs)and also, the dryers are tooooo HOT.

Does batting need to be washed before using? Would it shrink when washed... am about to put together the quilt top, batting and backing...

Commercial dryers have 3 temp settings. Cool, warm and hot. Yes, hot is hot, but warm is warm enough.
;)
Thanks for the information. That's good to know. I haven't used commercial dryers so that was one of my concerns.
Just be sure you use some color catchers with your wash load.
I would use several with such a big quilt.

I would really be afraid of the dryers in a laundromat, too. :?
