how do I soften a "stiff" new quilt cover?

[tiredmumma]

ive washed it on a hot wash and put loads of fabric softner in but still very stiff, cant really put on my sons bed like this - what do you suggest?

Tumble dry it?

I recently bought one from JL that needed 2 washes and tumble dries before it was usable.

Once it stos raining stick it out on the washing line to have a good blow around in the wind.

Stos = stops

Ooh...try washing it with no fabric conditioner but wash with non-bio. Then tumble dry, with those funny plastic tumble drier balls you can buy as they'll bad the fabric about a bit.

Tumble dry it and then iron it. It will get less stiff the more you use it.

oh pig I dont have a tumble drier - will have to find a launderette!!!

Leave it out in the rain for a bit.

60 degree wash and tumble dry with balls!
