Do you wash the flannel in hot water as well, as dry it in a hot dryer?
Hi,
Yes I generally use hot water. This is what I do. I start the washer with the hot water, add in a very small amount of detergent, mix that into the water with a paint stir stick. About half full I switch to warm water, then add the flannel fabric making sure that the fabric is pushed down into the tub. After making sure entire fabric is wet then switch back to hot water until at the fullest setting. Always be sure to have plenty of room for the fabric to move. Do not mix different colors just in case there is dye fading. I found this to be true for the darker solids.
Happy Quilting!
