Jordan, I almost always use Warm & natural or Warm & White cotton batting. I always wash it in hot water and dry on high heat before using it. I do get a full lint screen in the dryer afterwards but the batting doesn't come apart in any way. Perhaps use a more delicate drying cycle??? I have also done this with Quilters Dream battings with no problems.

Are you sure it was Warm and Natural? I've dried it in my dryer and it turned out fine.

I did try washing "something" that turned into a huge mess - like about ten boxes of shredded Kleenex ! But that was still in the washing machine!

Thank you so much Jeanne. I usually use W & N but maybe I will try the wash and dry process again. Maybe I will try a small piece and see if I get good results. The mess I had in my dryer was when I first started quilting many years ago so I am not completely sure it was W & N. Thank you also bearisgray for your input. I appreciate it so much.

I spray my batting with water to make then put in dryer. It shrinks and gets wrinkle free in the dryer, no need for all that washing.
