Default Pre-shrinking Batting

Does anyone pre-shrink their cotton batting? I just washed a quilt made with Pellon 80/20 batting for the first time and the batting really made the quilt wrinkly. I am fully aware that it is normal to have the classic crinkle look with cotton batting, but this was way more than I expected. I quilted it about 1" apart allover .

I'm wondering if putting the batting in the dryer before using it would pre-shrink it a bit?
