How do I prevent this from happening again? I have more fabric to wash. Please help.

Thanks for the suggestion!!
This is how I do fabric in the wash. I use Safety pins and fold the fabric in half, in half,in half, so on depending how big/ long/yards ete... Stop when its about 45inchs x 1yard or little less in size, then pin each corner now it can't twist up :!: Also less to iron :!:
