I bought a flannel at Joann's on sale for $2.99 a yard, thought I was getting a great deal.
It was terrible, it pilled so bad, I didn't even have the quilt finished before I wanted to tear it apart. I will only use the better flannel for quilting from now on. I don't know if there is a way to check it for pilling before you buy or not. But it sure would be nice.
I am not sure what it was called, but it was in the flannel section and the colors were all solid.
