PUH-LEASE!!!

85 quilts and I've never washed W&N batting before. I doubt people would be running to buy it, even with a 50% off coupon, if that was really required. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
That said, all my quilts are heavily quilted. Not microstippling, but dense, so I'm never really worried about the batting separating or clumping.

If you are really really really concerned, then wash the quilt when you are done and before you use it or give it away.....I personally would/could not be bothered with washing before....But I will say I washed my last quilt and loved how it looks and from now on will wash before I give away....Also a good way of knowing for sure it washes OK....and that no seams opened, heaven forbide !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just for an alternative to the majority of non-washers, I have washed W & N before using the wool setting on my front-loader, and no washing detergent. Then I let it dry on a drying rack. It survived the process just fine. I am not crazy about the wrinkle look, which is why I did pre-wash.
