Trust me, these gloves are not machine washable. Should have kept the instructions. Ended up having to buy a new pair. Now I have the instructions! Anyway, the washer and dryer destroyed them that first pair of gloves. Live and learn! I now have a file for all instructions related to quilting paraphernalia! This is something I should have set up long ago, and I am still retrieving instructions from "safe spots" and drawers all over the house to put in this file. I will be organized!
