First Time Using Flannel
I have read all of the horror stories about flannel. Granddaughter has found a fabric on line for her quilt back. Low and behold, it is flannel. I decided, oh well, time to give it a try. The fabric is Timeless Treasures Flannel. We just received it today. I washed and dried twice. There was not as much lint in dryer as I had expected from posts from others. There was very litlle fraying and not much shrinkage. The flannel did not pill and is beautiful. I am anxioux to get working with it.

The only time I had trouble with flannel was when I used some cheap stuff and it shrank a lot – from 42" wof to about 38" – too much to use as a backing as I had intended. That was a bummer. Oh, and the cheaper stuff tends to pill. But the good quality flannel is wonderful to sew with!

I ordered from Beverly Fabrics at bevelys.com. Their turn around was fast and the cuts were very generous. I had never ordered from them before, but this was the color and print that my grand daughter loved. I am loving it now too.
