I agree with Daisy Dew. I came from a designer of clothes background. If you are going to wash the item after made , you need to pre wash the fabric. Even in clothing. As flannel is used it puts stress on the seams. Also good thread should be used. The seams will pop as the idem will wear at different rates. Also flannel will stretch a bit more than regular cotton. All that said I love the flannel quilts I made. BUT I have learned the seams need more than 1/4 inch seams. Do it right first time so I don't have to redo it.

I find flannel quilts get lots of use and when I first started making them the seams were always fraying away to that's my story and I'm sticking to it ! Love the flannels.
