I go to the laundry mat and use the triple washer with color catchers and then use the dryers there if I have more that 2 quilts to wash and dry. I have a top loader at home which is huge but it is an HE washer and thus not a lot of water. I use Elmer's Washable School Glue to sandwich my quilts, so I want to make sure it is all washer out and it skips the wear and tear on my home machine.
