My plan is to take it to the laundromat, for the bigger washing machine.
My question: would it be safe to put it in a commercial drier?
The fabric and cotton batting have not been prewashed. I do like the antiquey look that washing gives, but will I ruin the quilt by putting it in the dryer? Its a huge king quilt, and I dont want to end up with a single quilt.
No worries if its all the same fabric...cotton, as you said, should be just fine. I like the antiquey look as well, and always wash my quilts before presenting.
Go ahead...really, it will be fine!! :-)
