I do like nativetexan. I have a super capicity w/agitator. I push the quilts up and down several times with my hand or a piece of broom handle. I do this while it is in wash water and rinse water. I guess it makes me feel like it is gatting washed and rinsed better. I have washed all of mine like this. I dry in the dryer on low heat, then spread on my glass topped dining table and leave it over night.
