Ever had to pick out batting that has fallen apart in the washer .........Long story short .I now read the pattern and us what is suggested.... Not sure what i like Yet . I do like warm and cozy quilts for winter and soft and cozy light ones for summer .
This is so sad. Who ever would tell you to pre wash batting has a problem with their belfry bats running loose. Never wash batting before it is in the quilted and quilted. Never wash unfinished quilt tops.
