I prewash all of my fabric and have a front loader. I already had a front loader when I started quilting and no one told me that front versus top was a condideration so have never done anything prior to washing. I just throw it in and wash.
Now, I do admit that there is some thread tangling and trimming to be done before I dry it but I don't find that I lose anything significant.

I have a front loader and haven't noticed anything different when washing compared to a top loader. Just remember to use very little detergent.
I also prewash my warm and natural before using. Some say to use the bathtub method but no need to do it that way with a front loader! Much easier!
