I have washed several baby size (24x24") in my machine at home with no problems. Anything larger needs a big, strong machine, and dryer! True, the chap fabric makes GREAT rags! ;o) Yes, Elizabeth, as I stated in the tutorial the first washing needs to be done at the laundry mat.

I have friends who have created huge repair bills for themselves by clogging up their washers with these things. It's worth the hour or so at the laundromat, and the few dollars to wash there, to keep your home washer/dryer from needing repairs. Some of my friends have used 3 layers of flannel. They say the cheap flannels "shag" better... good news for us, right?! If you have flannel scraps, these look cute with the "scrappy" look. If you have an embroidery machine, you could put designs on some of the flannel squares before you sew them together. You could get really fancy and make a simple design on the back with various colors of flannel. WASH THESE AT THE LAUNDROMAT the first time!!
