In my experience most sewn/knitted/crocheted items won't benefit by flat rate. The stuff is always bulky as comparted to heavy. If we were making door stops or paving stones the flat rate wouldn't be bad. One of my knitted scarves needs a $11 flat rate box just to fit in. Yet it weighs next to nothing. Parcel post isn't much better.
