with most cotton battings the rule of thumb is quilting should be no more than a fist away..........but I personally think the washing of it in a washing machine on a weekly basis was more of the culprit than the batting itself........I too have pets.....but do not wash my quilts on a weekly basis........I do put them into the dryer with air only to remove any pet hairs, but actually machine wash.........unless of an "accident" no more than three times a year....then on gentle cycle and very carefully......
