Mr. Esther helped. *Here's how. *He put baby clothes, white towels and his

washer for Hot. *You don't even want to know the results.

Yes, I think you're correct that silk batting would not hold up to
much 'help'. DH here is only allowed to wash towels and HIS
underwear. Can't be trusted to help with the rest of it
either...including just taking it out of the dryer!
