It won't be as inexpensive as just flannel, but flannel never worked for me. I have no connection with this product, other than I am a very happy user and can recommend it.
OK, I tried my Block Butler on painted wall. It WILL NOT STICK, I taped it with plastic tape, carton sealing tape, painter's tape, and masking tape. NOTHING will stick to it ---ALSO MY QUILT BLOCKS will not stick to it!!!?????#$%**
I e-mailed the company, and NOT heard back. I followed all the instructions and suggestion including: "Wait for it to acclimate"???? to it's new environment, spritz with water to "restore" it's properties, etc. The only thing I haven't been able to try is that it is supposed to stick to porous surfaces better - my sewing room walls are painted with semi-gloss paint, but didn't stick to my flat painted living room wall either.
I"M DISAPPOINTED!! And $$$ poorer. :) :)
