Batiks seldom ravel at all, one or two threads, tops. I toss FQs in with the rest of the fabric on gentle cycle. They hardly wrinkle at all either. Love 'em.
I prewash everything, fold out of dryer and press when ready to use like most everyone else. Longest single piece I've ironed (so far) was 12 yards, but I have no idea how long it took. It's wide backings that I hate to iron, all the rest is easy.
