This does sound like a wonderful product but Patrice is right, and in addition to the limitations on most modern washing machines I think this would also present an issue for front loaders. In my experience, when batting doesn't hold up in a quilt this is usually caused by insufficient quilting. Not meeting the minimum batting requirements for spacing between quilting. And batting that says you can quilt up to 10" apart, like W&N I have found that is way too far apart for the quilt to hold up. To much pressure is put on the piecing seams and they pop and the fabric shrinks differently from the batting and often looks unsightly in large unquilted areas. I remember making some placemats for my mom when I first started quilting. I used W&N and only quilted the minimum as recommended by the batting. I was visiting my mom and found the placemats in her linen closet and they were an unsightly wrinkled mess. No wonder she didn't use them after washing the first time.
