It's long past time I wash my quilt – what has given me slight hesitation are 3 quarter sized holes i've repaired with tenacious tape. What are some suggestions for washing a quilt with patches? Will the down leak out substantially? I assume the tape won't survive the dryer.

Thanks!

Hand sew the patches on? You can replace them after washing if the adhesive comes off in the process.

take a scrap of material, maybe nylon, and put on a patch of Tenacious tape. Run it through dryer. If it survives, dry your bag with tape without worrying about it.
