If it doesn't work, you are out 5 bucks!

Sounds like you all came up with what I did. I guess the worse that can happen is wrinkles. If that happens, duvet cover can hide that. thanks for all your help and interest. I will let you know on or about Monday how that works out.

thanks again to the team of experts.

Did I mention how cheap I am?

LOL! I can be very cheap too but I figure that somewhere along the way, I've wasted $5 on something worthless!!

Oh yes, I do understand that waste. I have brought home more treasures that has turned out to belong in the garbage dump than a museum than I would care to think about. I guess when I think about it, the waste comes in when I drive half way across the county to a Goodwill store to buy something for $5.00 and then put $35.00 in the gas tank. That is waste in my opinion or a very expensive hobby
anyway, it goes in the washer Monday morning and it comes out in little pieces, I will cry but I will have the best crying rag in town. In fact, I could cut it up into many crying towels and give them for Christmas gifts. Maybe put a design on it. A gift like no other.
In my books, nothing ever really is a waste, if I keep thinking about it long enough.

I would wash it.

The only thing I'm an expert on is buying too much fabric hahahaha :D:D

Well.... now let's see that lovely thing....

That's great to think if. It shreds you can make crying rags! Lol. I'd washin washer too!

I believe a simple toss in the washer and dryer will do no harm. My husband, with good intentions, tossed a hand made quilt I inherited from my great aunt, in the washer and dryer. I would have been extremely put out with him had the quilt been damaged or ruined but it came out just fine (and he pays no attention to heat settings). Wash and dry and toss back on the bed (or wherever). Good luck!
