i don't know if this was mentioned or not but you can buy, from the dollar store, those mesh laundry/lingerie bags and put your color catchers in them so they do not get caught in your washer. i use these mesh bags to put in small items that i wash and do not want to lose. you can also make them as they are very simple to create.
i wonder if pinning something that is not flat to the fabric would pull a small hole in the fabric during the agitation and spin cycles.
p.s. ooh i see it has been mentioned. these little mesh bags work wonders for not losing things.

I LOVE MY FRONT LOADERS! They do not beat your clothes to death and I have not had to replace any clothing related to that and/or those annoying fuzzy balls you get on your clothes due to the beating of a regular washing machine. Tks. G

This is a good idea as I always have a mesh bag for my "delicates". I just bought some color catchers when I was in Phoenix but I have never used them before. This board is a wealth of knowledge.

I agree. With just coming out of winter months and I use a lot of sweaters I didn't think about it until now but my sweaters look alot better than normal; no pills or anything. Even the baby clothes have held up very well. I will never go back to a top loading/agitator washing maching again

I hate front loading washers. i have no idea why they keep selling like hot cakes. i hear nothing but problems.
so far my old top loading washer hasn't eaten socks or color catchers. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
