er... might mention that the flannel side of the tablecloth is the side you want facing outward, not the plastic smooth side. It's the BACk that your blocks stick to. lol.
When I first heard of this "use a flannel backed plastic tablecloth' trick... I thought it was a great idea, much cheaper! So I put up a tablecloth, and found I had to scotch TAPE my blocks to it... cause they wouldn't stick. One day I was complaining about this at my LQS. Then a very nice, older lady in the quilt store sweetly told me... "honey, you've got it all wrong. You got to turn it A-Round. You know, it's just like the flannel boards your teacher used in school... the quilt blocks stick to the fuzzy side"...
Well, honey... some of us grew up with computers in school... and the only 'fuzzy' was 'fuzzy logic' computer programing in my 9th grade class. lol. I still have never seen a 'flannel board like the teacher used...'.
