Flannel at Connecting Threads
Can someone comment on the quality of flannel from Connecting Threads. Would you say it's closer to Joann's quality or LQS quality?
Thanks! |
I love Connecting Threads cotton fabric. I haven't worked with their flannel. I would bet that it's better quality than Joann's. When I began quilting again the first thing I made was a flannel quilt for my dd. I made it with Joann's. MISTAKE. It has held up but looks like it has gone through the the past 50 years. I made it 5-6 years ago.
So, I'd go with CT rather than Joann's. |
it's great quality, just like their other fabrics. I've made several items with it and it's performed as well as any from my LQS.
|
I've made several quilts from CT flannel. It feels good, looks great and wears very well. You won't be disappointed.
|
Low shrinkage, low pill, awesome IMHO
|
I've never bought flannel from Connecting Thread so this is good to know that it is of good quality. Thanks for the info.
|
I made my grandson a flannel quilt from CT. It has been washed many times and still looks great. The colors haven't faded and it is very soft.
|
I prefer feeling my flannels in person. There is difficult qualities of flannel found at JAF.
|
I've used CT flannel and been very pleased with the quality. I ran a little short so I went to JoAnn's. Fortunately I on,y needed a small amount because what I found at JoAnn's was not as good.
|
I made a snowman quilt from a quilt kit from CT and it was the nicest flannel I've ever worked with.
|
Have made several quilts with CT flannels and have not been disappointed.
|
I'd rather use CT flannels than JAF's any day!
|
Good to know as I have been very disappointed with JAF flannel. They used to have good, thick flannel, but not anymore!
|
I have enjoyed all that I have received from Connecting Threads.
|
I have just used JAF flannel for a backing and am disappointed. It is shedding quite a bit. I did wash it first. It will be OK but I will have to brush off the finished quilt with clothing brush before I donate it. I don't use flannel very often but thought it would be nice for this quilt which I am sending to upstate NY. It's CT for me next time!
|
I had a very bad experience with JAF flannel. It just shredded and fell apart while I was working with it. That's why I asked. My guess is that it's not consistent. It sounds like the Connecting Threads flannel is consistent, so I will try it. Thanks for the advice.

Haven't used their flannel, but their quilting fabric is wonderful
