    I have done several quilts incorporating both hand & machine quilting. However, I pre-shrink all my fabric before I use it, make up my quilt, and when it's completed (including all the quilting whether hand or machine or both) I wash the quilt with a mild detergent in my washing machine on "delicate" and then dry it in the dryer until almost dry. When someone receives my quilt it smells and feels freshly laundered. I also include with all my quilt gifts, instructions on how to care for a quilt. These instructions have always been well-received.
    Marnie- I do the same thing! I've never had it turn out badly. Plus, the knowledge that it can handle a washing like this makes it easier for me to give as a gift.
