I decided that I wanted to make a nice, cozy, snuggly flannel quilt. Now the problem, after reading so many different things here & the internet to do considering flannel I have scared myself. So any help or tips will help me out greatly. First do you do a zig-zag stitch around the edges of the cut pieces to keep it from fraying. Second do you starch the heck out of it so it will keep it's shape. I have also read to use a 1/2" seam instead of a 1/4" seam. To late for that as I have already cut the center blocks, I do not want to re-figure the pattern I want to use. It is a snowball with sashing around the center block. third I have read to use small stitches & then I have read to use larger stitches. Also someone told me to use wax paper under the flannel so it will move smoothly through the machine. Lastly I know that I will have a lot of lint to brush away even though I have already washed & dryed it. So please give me any helpful hints that you have or that you have learned. I am so confused.
