First time laundered the king size comforter fell apart!  Imagine my shock, when I found holes all over the bed spread and the batting inside was all bunched up.  My husband and I have an extra large size capacity washer (no agitator arm) and an extra large size capacity dryer which it had room to tumble in.  It also shrunk...it is no longer the beautiful spread it once was, and will absolutely be going in the donation pile.  Maybe some crafty person can rip it apart and make something cute out of what’s left of it!
