I always soak the batting in warm water in my washing machine, spin it to get most of the water out, and then dry in dryer. It doesn't ruin the batting - I do this with both Hobbs 80/20 and Warm & Natural. I don't want shrinking AFTER I quilt. I also prewash all fabrics to be sure the dyes are set, and the fabrics are shrunk as much as possible. I don't like surprises when my quilts are finished - learned from sad experience!

I love your quilt, sorry to hear it shrunk

I did not read all the answers, but when I wash a quilt I thought it was the thread that shrunk!! That because the fabric all clumps up and where I quilted pretty heavy there is squished up in between the stitches!
I like the way your quilt looks! And I am not very concerned at the end size of what I make (unless I have to wear it)! :roll: |
Would be wonderful for a premie quilt. just the right size so sorry that it shrunk. It was darling tho.
