I am using flannel for the backing of a quilts. It's a memory quilt. It has 8 inch squares of different fabrics with a 4 inch denim border.
I read on here that someone used LL Bean flannel sheets for their backing. I ended up going that route because I couldn't find fabric in the right color or size. I am pre-washing and drying (on high) the sheets prior to putting them on the quilt for possible shrinking issues. Should I was them more than once? If so, how many times? Thanks in advance for your help. :) |
I've never used flannel sheets but I wash my flannel yardage twice just to be sure.

Yes, wash it twice. You don't want to take any chances on shrinkage after the fact.
|
sounds like you need to wash it twice
|
Thanks! I was planning to do twice. Just didn't know if that was enough.
|
I have used LL Bean flannel sheets on the bed. The first washing should be enough to shrink them, if they shrink much at all. I haven't had a problem with them shrinking at all.

If they are sheets I would think they are already pre-shrunk, I wouldn't be too pleased if my new queen size sheets shrunk in the wash!! LOL But washing twice can't hurt it, and is worth making sure anyway!!
