Ooooo! Thanks so much. And they have some cute projects on the site, too!
Crafty Bear - changing subject - how do you put the links under your signature?

Yeah, well, I throw my fine cotton sweaters in the machine. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

85 quilts and I've never washed W&N batting before. I doubt people would be running to buy it, even with a 50% off coupon, if that was really required. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

That said, all my quilts are heavily quilted. Not microstippling, but dense, so I'm never really worried about the batting separating or clumping.

If you are really really really concerned, then wash the quilt when you are done and before you use it or give it away.....I personally would/could not be bothered with washing before....But I will say I washed my last quilt and loved how it looks and from now on will wash before I give away....Also a good way of knowing for sure it washes OK....and that no seams opened, heaven forbide !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never wash it either. I like the wrinkle look that it gives the quilt when it shrinks.

Just for an alternative to the majority of non-washers, I have washed W & N before using the wool setting on my front-loader, and no washing detergent. Then I let it dry on a drying rack. It survived the process just fine. I am not crazy about the wrinkle look, which is why I did pre-wash.

Hi,

Is this box of W&N really old? There current packaging doesn't have this on it, that I'm aware of! Maybe the old W&N was processed differently than the new.

I agreee

Me Too!!

It could be. It was from the quilter's estate sale. Only paid $5 a box. Who could resist?
