I gave my homespun quilts as gifts and haven't heard any issues. I have been really using my 3 flannel on a lot in the last year and notice some seams getting loose...guess there are just no guarantees!

I bought a pair of scissors like the one on the right in your picture. I started out clipping seams with regular scissors and after about 3" I said...no way. So went to Joann's and bought those...WHAT A DIFFERENCE.
