I was just reading another thread about washing a quilt after you finish it and a couple of people mentioned the krinkle look. Do people in general like the krinkle look or not? I recently found out how to eliminate or reduce the about of krinkle you get when you wash your quilts. Before you put your batting in between your top and bottom layers put it in the dryer for about 15 minutes. It shrinks it and removes the wrinkles or folds which is great if you use packaged batting. I love my old quilts from my great grandmother that have the really nice soft krinkle touch to them. But on my new quilts that I have made I'm not pleased to see them krinkle some after washing them. So I have started pre shrinking my batting. Open to ideas and comments on this.
Thanks,
