I tend to use the 60mm rotary cutter for flannel as it does dull the blade and there is a lot of cutting to do. The larger blade makes it look like it is going quicker with the cutting time.

I do not pre-wash my flannel.

If you are making a rag type quilt I heartily recommend the Fiskars Rag Snips. Joann's carries them and they have coupons and sales. Or make a friend and borrow theirs.
