Rag quilt question
#2
You may want to take this to a laundry mat... the amount of lint/fuzz is crazy... it can plug up a home machine :wink: and the commercial machines are made to handle this. The amount of dryer lint is crazy too... :D:D:D

It isn't a full quilt, just something about 6 inches by 6 inches, so it isn't something that I would consider going to the laundromat for.....just curious if my machine could even do it without an agitator.
Thanks

You can use a brush to help remove some of the lint and thread beforehand. Use a soft-bristle hair brush and swirl the brush in small circles over the raw edges. Clean the brush often or you'll have a heck of a time later. Good luck.

I've done up to baby rags in my washer without any problem, but, anything bigger goes to the laundrymat. Sometimes I think it also depends on the quality of the flannel in regards to the amount of thread and lint.

I put my rag quilts in a big flannel bag that I made from a sheet and tie it shut to keep the lint out of my lines. I then shake it in the yard before drying it. I figure the birds could use the lint for their nests.
