I also want to use another comforter that is worn out: I want to take it apart and use the batting instead of buying some new one. Did anyone ever did this?
If you use flannel in your quilt, it's a good idea to prewash it. Flannel shrinks a lot more than regular cotton. As for fleece, it may shrink, but not as much as flannel.
I would think that the batting might not be so easy to work with if recycled, but if it does work, please let us know.
