What about this pre-shrinking batting?
Lately I've seen a lot about pre-shrinking batting. I've never done this but it does make sense when the batting says it will shrink 3%. That's 3" on a king size quilt. I'm thinking that I want a smoother looking quilt that won't bubble up once it's washed.
I did read that you put your batting in the washer.... no soap.... hot water and let it soak 15-20 minutes and spin out the water..... got that. But then it says to put it in a warm dryer. Do you turn the dryer on? Wouldn't that shred the batting? But, just letting it sit in a warm dryer doesn't sound like that would work. So, I'm a little dense..... could someone explain in more detail the drying part? Thanks.
