I should have also said that this is the method I use when I specifically want a flat quilt. Most of the time I use it right off the roll. Depends on the look I'm going for. You certainly don't need to pre-shrink!

Therefore, that is why I try to remove possible problems before an item leaves my custody. I think it would be sad for the recipient if a donated quilt fell apart or bled after/during the first washing.

I just open it up & scrunch it into a loose ball, put it in the laundry tub, get it wet, then press down on the batt while it's in the tub to get rid of as much water as I can. Then roll it in a towel, again to remove as much moisture that way. Then I put it the dryer. When you remove the wet batt from the tub, lift it from the bottom, don't grab a fold from the top. While drying, check the lint trap often and rearrange the bulk. Finally, I try and take it out when it is almost dry, and lay it on a bed, smoothing any wrinkles. In any case remove promptly from the dry and let it cool flat.
