I agree. I pre-wash all my fabric, but not the batting, because its where I get my antique look from. With the fabric washed and the batting not I get just the right look for me.

I don't know if I would even attempt to put in a washer. If I wanted to shrink it, I probably would take a bottle of water and mist the batting, then put in dryer.
