The thermal bonding replaces scrim and resin, giving the batting a smooth needle glide and excellent stitchability while maintaining a soft hand and more than 1\/3\" loft that flatters quilting patterns and creates subtle dimensional effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dream Wool throw behave in the washing machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQueenDream’s processing removes impurities and prevents felting or shrinkage, so the throw can be machine washed and dried on a cold setting without losing its size or loft.
