question about preshrinking bat
I decided to preshrink an 80/20 bat as I am going to use it along with a Quilters Dream poly bat (double bat) and didn't want the cotton 80/20 bat to cause the whole quilt to shrink eventually. Anyway, I've never preshrunk a bat and followed the directions on the package. Gentle soak, spin only, and then air only in the dryer until just very damp and then draped over the long arm belly bar to finish drying. Anyway, my problem is that the 80/20 bat developed a hole in it, which won't be a problem since it's bigger and I won;t use that part, but what could I have done differently to prevent this?
