I have done mine in my home machine . . . but before I washed, I used my chenille brush and brushed and brushed. Then into the washer . . another but . . I stopped the washer , about 1/2 way through agitation, and pulled out as much lint ~ floating and in the lint trap. Then when done washing took the rag quilt outside and shake the daylights out of it. Finally into the dryer, ran it for 20 minutes . . . cleaned out lint trap.... finished drying and clean out lint trap again. I have done two twin size rag quilt, 6 raggy flannel jackets and one raggy denim jacket, with no problems . . . knock on wood . . .
