I have taken all my quilts to the laundromat, washed them in the big washer with a stain catcher (almost more important than soap, I think) and then I put it in the dryer. The dryers are generally one temp. I just dry it in increments. I put in a quarter at a time, equal to 8 minutes. It usually takes three quarters - 24 minutes - until I get the quilt almost dry and then I take it home and hang it out on the line. I do this on a breezy day and the quilt poofs up so nice. I have never had a problem.

Try one and see how it works (possibly an older quilt). It should be just fine. Edie
