I agree. As a longarmer, I recommend the backings be washed if the top fabric was washed. Fold the backings when they come out of the dryer, don't press. Even if they are not washed; when I load them onto the longarm frame I straighten and smooth and maybe mist them with plain water to remove any stubborn wrinkles.
