I use either a large lingerie bag or a pillow case that zips closed to wash mine in hypoallergenic soap that I use for all my own clothes in normal setting and dry on normal setting. I do usually use the rack that fits in my dryer to spread them out flat without tumbling. Sometimes I am just too lazy to use pinking blade, but I do use it on larger pieces.

I bucket or sink wash all the smaller bits of fabric, precuts and FQ's....peg out on line and then iron. No dramas and no tangling. Only takes a minute or two, minimal water/power use....and I use the rinse-water on my plants.

Nanacc, what hypoallergenic soap do you use? Been having allergy to fabrics, trying to figure best way to wash.

The lingerie bag and pillowcase methods, along with the hand washing method, all do the same thing as machine washing on the gentle cycle...greatly reduce the agitation of the fabric. I go with the gentle cycle wash cuz it's the least hassle. Pick the one that works for you.
