They don't want you to use plastic in the mirowave....no one overlooks this much, because its not food. I will have to know a bit more before i use it

This is a very good point Ruth...I wonder how long those chemicals stay around in the fabrics once they are exposed to the heat in a dryer? Thanks for bringing this up!!!

The company website says it can be machine dried with little to no shrinkage, but I didn't think about any chemicals being released. I wonder if it would be about the same as drying regular polyester batting? Ladies who have used it: any problems maching drying quilts made with this? Any fumes, etc?

I am not worried about the standard poly batting, it is made for drying in the clothes dryer...just the plastic bottle/batting which is not heat resistant :wink:
