If you don't use the flannel, what do you do with it? Could have a lot of flannel sitting on the shelf.

I don't know what Quilting Candy does with it .......

Flannelette can work nicely as a batting.
I've used it in runners and toppers and the like as well as in one of my favourite bed quilts.

I have bought flannel that was really soft from Joanns thinking it would be great for a rag quilt. After I snipped it and throw it in the washer and dryer came out all piled I was so upset.

Wave your magic wand directly above the flannel. That should take care of it.

One of DH's favorite TV quilt is a top and bottom flannel, polyester high loft batting, tied. It is warm and light weight. He and Miss Kitty share it. I made it for me years ago out of flannel that "pilled" when washed. The two sides don't match very well, but he doesn't care. ❤️
