. i for many years used old flannel sheets, abthrobes, etc instead of batting in placemats. No shrinking or bleeding out as it had been washed a hundred times
I haven't found any problems with it yet.
I have always used the white so I never worry about colorfast.
I've never had a problem with shrinking or wrinkles.
The only thing that bothered me was that it says flammable on the bolt.
So, I took a small strip 2 inch by 6 inch over to my stove, put it in a pan and put a match to it. lol Yes, I did.
It didn't burn any different than other material. It shrunk up and stuck together.
However, just like any other material, you want to keep it away from any kind of fire.
The kids quilts have been put in the washer and Dryer many, many times and never a problem.
Another problem I found----While at JoAnn's yesterday I was gasping for air at the prices of material and battings. Eight dollars a yard for Calico's is asinine. Their batting for a queen size quilt was $24.00 to $29.00.
I was fussing all through the store. I know that they have the 50% off on sales, but that brings the price back down to what it should have been in the first place. They keep raising their prices and they are going to run themselves out of business.
