I don't wash my batting either. My dryer has a steam setting that I used to get the wrinkles out but that's all I do.
I agree with Machinger gloves and lots of practice. I also keep some sandwiches around for practice. Mine are about 12" x 18". I've also discovered that you can used them until you've quilted all over and then just stick new pieces of fabric on both sides and use the same piece again. I used them until they get too thick to use easily.
