I agreee

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

If I only paid $5 for how many yards I wouldn't sweat it....wash after done....

Only batting that I've prewashed was Hobbs 80/20 because I didn't want any shrinkage of the quilt when it was washed. I soaked whole bat in washing machine a certain number of minutes, no detergent, next put it on spin dry and then I put it on my dining room table with the ceiling fan turning over it. If you wanted to you could do follow the same steps with W&N.

I would never waste my time washing batting, that sounds crazy.

Cottonseed oil isn't bad, I can't imagine it doing anything to it, its just going to wash out when you go and wash your quilt the first time anyway.

Never washed Warm and Natural before using in a quilt.
My quilts after being used and loved. No problems

Just had a batting dealer speak at our quilting quilt this week. She said we should never prewash batting. You always take the chance of it falling apart.

Never prewashed W&N and it's the only batting I've ever used. Never had a problem either.

I've never pre-washed W&N batting. Guess that's because I've never read the directions on the package. LOL. I do take it out of the pkg., and fluff it.
