Try pressing the quilt with a hot iron, it might make it spring back and look a little nicer.
Something tells me your instructor was selling something other than W&N, or she had no direct experience with it. I have used the W&N batting on all my quilts, but decided to try pre-washing for the first time recently. I followed the directions on the wrapper, even cheated by doing the washing in the washing machine, and had no problems whatsoever. The batt came out of the dryer looking great.
