Batting Shrinkage
I am nearly finished with my current quilt top and hope to get it to the quilt shop tomorrow or Monday for machine quilting. They will put 80/20 generic thin generic batting in and I happen to know it will shrink some because the baby quilt I made here at home shrank when washed and dried in a dryer. I don't mind if this quilt (full/double bed size) shrinks very minimally but if at all possible I want to minimize that to very, very little. When the time comes to wash it, if I wash in cold water and air dry, will that help prevent shrinking? Other methods?
