aktbone Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I have attached a picture of a laundered quilt - quality cotton top, Bigelow wool batting, quality flannel backing. Looks to me like the batting pulled through the backing. I can't exactly say since I have not actually held the quilt since this happened. Any clue why or what happened? It was gifted to a SIN of a customer. He washed it in a large front loading machine with no dryer. Any advise, suggestion, hints ..... greatly appreciated.

Deb in the Mtns Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I had a similar situation with Quilters Dream wool (which is machine washable)- it bearded out the back and front of a dark fabric quilt I made for my son. QD customer service told me that it was due to the dark colored fabrics and something in the dyes that cause a static build up to pull the wool fibers and cause them to migrate out. Other's I know have had it happen with wool that is NOT supposed to be machine washed (dry clean only). The only fix I've found - other than picking out the entire quilt - is to use a sweater shaver to mitigate the fuzzies. My son's quilt does this EVERY time it is washed unfortunately. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
