I do have to empty it several times during each cycle which is a pain. The local laundromat has a big sign up that says, simply.. "Absolutely NO rag/frayed quilts!!" so that leaves me with no place to wash and dry it those first few times.
I guess the laundromats got smart. I'll have to check with ours and see if they have any signs up. If they do, I'll take your advice about just wetting the seams a few times. Thanks for the suggestion.
