I had a Maywood flannel shrink almost 2 1/2" WOF recently - so cost and brand (while it is a predictor) is not always dependable.
ekuw - I am not a prewasher for regular cottons but after this issue with the Maywood flannel I always now prewash flannel at least once. I might suggest after your top is complete that you gently wash, dry and press it, if you are concerned.
