When you buy your next washer get one that has the handwash cycle. It's not the same as the delicate cycle. I never have threads or fabric tangles or unraveling on my fabric, even precuts using the handwash cycle. I know any washer I buy from now on will have the handwash cycle. I don't dry my fabric in the dryer, I let it air dry or iron it damp dry. I put finished quilts in the dryer.
