One solution to tangling on long pieces, I learned not long ago from a friend:

Accordion fold the fabric, generally I use about 24"
Stitch the fabric together at the selvedges
I use Junk top thread and a pullable bottom thread like topstitch
Wash/Dry
take out the stitching

No Tangling.

I prewashed a knit yardage that was very wide, I only made that accordion about 14 inches

I have been using this on my backing fabrics & anything over 1-1/2 yards.
