I ordered from Beverly Fabrics at bevelys.com. Their turn around was fast and the cuts were very generous. I had never ordered from them before, but this was the color and print that my grand daughter loved. I am loving it now too.

I have read all of the horror stories about flannel. Granddaughter has found a fabric on line for her quilt back. Low and behold, it is flannel. I decided, oh well, time to give it a try. The fabric is Timeless Treasures Flannel. We just received it today. I washed and dried twice. There was not as much lint in dryer as I had expected from posts from others. There was very litlle fraying and not much shrinkage. The flannel did not pill and is beautiful. I am anxioux to get working with it.:thumbup:

I've read tons of the flannel posts--------------and have heard very few horror stories. There are things to avoid--------cheap flimsey fabric and washing/not washing-----------but what else? the same could be said for almost any type of weave/finish

At the Beverlys stores, they will honor Joanns coupons up to 30% off. Makes it possible to get good quality fabric for a decent price!

I am too using flannel for the first time. It came from Fons and Porter and the line is called 'Woolies'. I washed and dried it and am very happy with it. All I've done is cut so far. I have to cut a gazillion HSTs and I'm not enjoying the process. Once that is finally done, I think I'll love sewing on it. It's so nice to cut -- like cutting through butter.

However, use what makes you happy. Flannel makes me happy. |
I have never had any problem with flannel, I have used cheaper flannel and more pricey flannel. I do wash at least once.
|
i love backing quilts with flannel... so soft and warm..
|
I use flannel all the time and love it...If making a lapsize or larger I do buy it from a LQS, I find the quality is better.
