I would use cold water, gentle cycle, dye catcher(stops fabric from bleeding) and you can purchase special cleaning
solution for quilts at most of your quilting supply stores. Hope this helps you. The design and color of your quilt is beautiful. Dye catcher can be purchased at Hancocks Fabric Stores. Betty lEE |

What is a color catcher?
|
soaking will clean most quilts, agitation is what is bad. so soak, spin out, fill tub and soak again and spin out.
|
Beautiful quilt Marta, you got good advise on washing....
You are close to me, I'm in Concord.... |
I am a newbie too, what are color catchers?
|
I think you should send it to me to wash and keep!! It's so very pretty.

I wash in cold water, and use color catchers on a gentle cycle. I was amazed at what the color catchers did catch. And sure was glad I used them.
