The directions should be on the package!
However these days, I am finding the batting barely makes the size it says on the package..so I am only hanging them on the line so they "fall"..NO prewashing to shrink them...

made my first quilt in 1976---still have never had any reason to pre-shrink a batt-
there are many many to choose from on the market- if one had a shrinkage rate that was more than i thought i wanted- i would simply buy a different one.
most of them only shrink about 3% which is not very much-
seems like an aweful lot of work for no real reason.
