Ok, really dumb question here but really need to ask.
When I first started quilting, my grandma told me that after layering her quilts, she then ironed the sandwich to smooth it all out quickly. I thought, cool beans! sounds like a easy solution. Tried it on a quilt that had high-loft batting and it flattened that thing flatter than a pancake! I was horrified and ended up tossing the whole thing out, thinking I had just ruined the fluff I really wanted. Have never tried to iron anything with batting in it again. Does it go back to being fluffy after ya wash it, I guess is what I'm on about.
