No, I wash in cold and put it in the dryer for a little bit. It's still a little damp when I take it out. I usually have to put the lining back in the bag. I then form it and hang it from a door knob to finish air drying. Looks like it was never washed. Still nice and crisp. But I do use the heavy FF for the outside of the bag and the regular for the rest. Makes it more firm.
