I can see no reason not to use the dryer. I dry my quilts in the dryer all the time. (I have no clothes line! :cry: )
I even threw a quilt with a wool bat in the dryer. Almost an 'oops!' but I only damp dried it and it came out fine. I hadn't read the directions on the bag! I was lucky so from no on I will read what the manufacturers say and then do what I think is best! :P
