What's the best way to wash & dry quilts?
I pop mine in a front loading washer and put it on a delicate cycle. I also use my regular powder detergent. I've heard quilters saying that liquid detergent is better. Will powder detergent damage my quilts in the long run? Also, can we use fabric softener?
I usually tumble dry using the gentle mode. Will this damage my quilt?
With regards to drying, is it better to do line drying or dry it flat?
