My mother used to use flannel on every Qt, I used it on the first 3 Qts after that I forgot about flannel, thanks for reminding me. Theresse

Flannel makes lots of lint in your sewing machine. Stop occasionally and brush it out.

Flannel is great when wanting to make a Rag Quilt too.

We use flannel for backing when making wheelchair lap quilts. They don't slide off as easily and seem to last a long time. Heaven knows, they get plenty of wear and washing.

I love flannel for backs. I almsot always use it since I want my quilts used & not put away. Flannel is so nice to cuddle in!

This could pucker and may be too thick to quilt. Experiment with a small piece to make sure that it will work.

Will using flannel significantly shorten the lifespan of a quilt? |

I have a question on flannel too. I have already made my quilt and just finishing the binding on it. It's completely flannel, except batting, and never been washed. Am I going to have huge problem on my hands?

Where is the best place to buy extra wide, quality quilting flannel for backing? I think I want to do this with my next quilt, too.
