great information here - I have washed & dryed cotten batting before but don't think I have ever let it relax before. I am going to have to give this a try and see if I can tell a difference.
|
I always fluff mine in the dryer. Works great & you don't have to wait
|
I RELAX MINE IN THE DRIER. NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT USING A BALL OR SPRITZING. WILL TRY THAT METHOD
|
I didn't know about relaxing the batting before use but it makes sense. Good to read all the answers, all good ideas to use from now on. Thanks.

I will keep an eye on this question, and maybe I will change my bad habit. |
I let mine lay on the bed like a spread for a day...But I do like all the posts about putting it in the dryer...and also buying by the roll.

I hardly ever use packaged batting but the few times I did, I just threw it in the dryer on low for a few minutes and it worked just fine.
|
I haven't noticed that big a difference either way. So I don't deliberately do it. I just take it out of the package and lay it over my backing and smooth, smooth, smooth it out with my hands and this seems to work just fine for me.

Let it set out of bag but buy most on roll
