I can't take the time to read all the pages here just now, so forgive me if my idea is not the only one like mine...but call any and all friends you have and ask them to take ten large pieces of fabric. Give them instructions how you want it cared for. Tell them they can keep any one piece they like in exchange for helping you out. You will get it wash and dried in a lot less time, and perhaps someday you can return the favor. This is what friends, small sewing groups and family are for!
