Yes, one side is flannel. The tie ends are on the right side and there is really just a tiny bite on the flannel side, so impossible for even an ant sized finger to get caught. I might try birthing. I originally thought of turning the backing over, but there wasn't enough. After washing, the serged edges were very soft.
