Need shagging instructions

Okay, I finally finished one of my UFOs and I'm sitting here cutting the
fringe into a flannel shag quilt. Do I remember these nexts steps right?

1.) Wash it
2.) Dry it a little, shake it out outside, clean the lint trap repeat every
15 minutes until shagged as desired.

Nothing in the world would have made my shaggy flannel quilt quit shedding.
I finally put it in the trash. It even erupted there and blew the top off
the dumpster - but I do know that others have succeeded. When you're
washing it, do check the washer filter frequently. And Don't wash the
shaggies off of the filter down the sink drain. Plumbers are quite
expensive. I'm just a Little Miss Sunshine tonight. Polly

Worse, don't wash it when washing a cat hair covered blanket.

I needed a new washing machine after that.

Yes, Giselle, just was normally, and run it through the dryer a few
times. Make sure it is fully clipped first.

My suggestion is to take the quilt to the Laundromat. I learned this the
hard way after DH had to take the washer apart because the lint had globbed
up the innards.
Throw a couple pair of jeans in with the quilt to get a little action
going--helps it to fray a bit better.

That's okay, when I saw it I thought our UK cousins where going to have a
real hoot over it.

The best shaggy quilt tip I ever got was to make the seam allowances only 1/2"
instead of the more common 3/4". The result is a lovely "chenille" appearance,
instead of thready. Also, less thread in the washer/dryer!

Yep, I thought that might be it! Thanks. I'll clip 'em all down before I
wash it.
