Be careful about drying in a home dryer. There is so much lint with ragging, it can mess up the dryer. Most quilters take the quilt to a commercial laundry for ragging.
Do quilts rag if they are not dried in the dryer?
No, they don't rag. They need either the dryer or John Flynn's weed whacker. This is probably all you need to do to make your quilt's edges rag beautifully.
I have dried several quilts in my home dryer, despite being told not to. I clean the lint tray SEVERAL times during drying. So far, so good. The outgoing line should also be checked for lint buildup.
