I have bought quilter's flannel from Joann's in the past and it was OK. I also bought flannel from Hancock fabric on line. It worked out great. I used the flannel from Joann's for a full size quilt where you keep the seams on the outside to fray. BUT it isn't fraying very well so I guess that is good fabric. The Hancock fabric I used for baby quilts so I only bought the kind that is flame retardant...they turned out nicely. Didn't wash any of the flannel beforehand.
