I open up the batting, spritz it with a spray bottle of water and add 5 wet wash clothes along with my 6 wooly balls. I put 2 damp wash clothes and 3 wooly balls in the dryer and gently lay half the batting half-way in the dryer; then I put the rest of the batting and add the damp wash cloths and the other 3 wooly balls. Shut the door and put the temperature on low for 10 minutes, then I take the batting out and shake it out and and put everything back in the dryer for another 10 minutes. Then, I either lay the batting out on my quilt room floor or hang it up on the clothes line in the basement. Works everytime.
