Grandma Cindy--I finally discovered a way to wash fabric with no tangles. I set the machine on delicate, BUT, once the water fills I let it agitate twice around--about 5 seconds, then stop the machine and reach in and agitate it myself. Then I move the dial to rinse and let it spin....once it fills, I agitate it myself again. Then I set it on spin in a regular cycle so it gets more water out.
This is the best way for me.
I did buy a zigzag (the correct term escapes me :roll: )rotary blade to try--I've heard using that on the open edges before washing works wonderfully.
