Good morning. I have a question that may seem silly but....After you have a quilt quilted using 80/20 batting, do you wash before you bind or after. Being a hand quilter, I always washed after binding and had no shrinkage problems ( quilt stayed squared) until I washed one I had long arm quilted that I was planning to put in a show. Well, it took 2 people really tugging to square this up. Now I have a good number of quilts that have been quilted by a long arm quilter, but have never been washed. Will I have a problem when washed in cold water? I always pre-wash my fabric. Advice will be appreciated. By the way, the quilt mentioned got 2 blue ribbons.
