thank you! don't think I'll be using this - no way I'd remember til it was too late about the dryer...didnt' know that about bamboo either. sigh. I think I may donate all my poly batting if a local group uses it for charity quilts - it's too hot down here for poly and I have plenty of 'winter' quilts for the short time we have winter here. can't believe I bought the stuff..sigh...but thanks so much for the help. going to read that article now!
