I like to dampen it in the washer and spin out the excess water and then put it in the dryer. I think it controls the shrinkage. I don't mind the crinkly look but I like to be more sure of the finished dimensions of my quilts.

As soon as I get home with new batting I throw it in the washer on hot and regular/normal cycle then in a warm dryer. Then I lay it across my queen size bed to let it rest, fold and put away. When I need to use it, I throw it on my bed again and mist with hot water. Dries in no time.

I did it as a few of you mentioned with a couple of small cloths that I dampened and put in the dryer on the 10 minute fluff cycle and it worked great. I did put my dryer balls in to keep it tumbling nice without bunching up. I put it through 2 cycles like that because the first time the dryer went off the middle was still creased but now it's flat and ready to go. I'm so thankful your you ladies and all your consistent wisdom!
