my sister zips hers through the serger, I just clip my corners and then pin all 4 corners together!
for smaller than 1 yd I use a mesh bag!
I do NOT dry in the dryer, that would set the wrinkles for sure.
I generally hang them out. BUT in winter will dry for 15 minutes then remove and iron them. OR put them on a wooden drying rack over night in the kitchen!
