Yes, it will. You can prewash batting, which I am taking to mean cotton batting, by handling it very gently and drying it very gently.
Works fine.
Do not wash it in a washer, nor dry it in a dryer.
Although a friend of mine hand-soaked her cotton batting, rinsed it by hand, and then put it in a pillowcase and pinned it closed, then dried the whole thing on warn (not hot) setting.
Hers came out fine but I have not done the dryer thing myself.
