I am with you!! The quilt is heavy dry so I don't know if I could even lift it wet!!! Thank you soooo much for checking on this aspect. Unfortunately all the friends I have with top-loading machines also all have high-efficiency machines as well. Guess I won't be using either of these! Just hope my multiple washes before starting the project will be sufficient.
