Hi friends! Today I’ll be showing you how to wash a quilt! There are several ways to go about washing your quilts, but today I’m just going to show you how I like to do it to help prevent any damage or bleeding of fabrics or thread.
Products I recommend:
- Dreft Detergent or Woolite detergent (Anything meant for delicate fabric is great!)
- Shout Color Catchers (I’m sure any brand will work, but I have only used these.)

Good info. I use Woolite and the color catchers in a front loader also. Never had an issue with either. 🙂
I love rulers and rotary tools.
Thanks for the info on the color catchers. Also about the agitator on the washing machine.
