i use Hobbs heirloom 80/20 fusible a lot. i soak the finished quilt, then agitate a couple of minutes, spin out. fill again, soak, and agitate couple of minutes and spin out. then into dryer or clothsline outside. usually dryer.
Most of these suggestions do not work for me. I have to go to our apartment complex laundry room and the machine just runs a whole cycle no stopping it. Because of this, I know longer wash my fabrics either.
I do wash the quilts after they are finished to remove markings. If they wrinkle it does not bother me because I like that look.
