Thanks!
Starch the back side--not the fuzzy side and the more starch, the better.
The good, heavy, "quilter's suede" type flannel is a little easier to control without starch but the intersections at the seams make it a bugger to sew through even with a walking foot and nesting the seams so I have pressed them open.
I also avoid using any pattern where the pieces will be less than 2" when using flannel if I can't figure out how to strip piece it and sub-cut to get the design I'm after.
