What do you do?

I don't wash mine either. It seems like it would look used. Of course I haven't been quilting all that long and have not made any for myself so I really don't know what one would/should look like after laundering. I pre wash all of my fabrics before cutting.

When I make a quilt I handle the fabric so much, starch the fabric, so much touching - I always wash the quilt when I am done. I use my washing machine, cold water, regular detergent, gentle cycle and then into the dryer with a lower temperature heat.

Thanks for any info!
