Flannel as batting
 

I agree. It’s a great light weight batting. I also prewash. It’s the only fabric I prewash. Perfect for a runner or even a Denim or rag quilt you want a little lighter.

After washing and drying the flannel, starch and iron it. I do that to all the flannel I use in sewing. I took a very expensive workshop and we were instructed to starch and iron the flannel before cutting.

Onebyone what a great suggestion. I will use. More of the flannel and give that a try. My table toppers turned out wonderful so am really impressed with flannel lining.

QuiltE I wish I was better with doing pictures. I am a real novice with techie stuff.

Oh I know what you mean ..... I used to be able to post photos on here, then somewhere along the line the system changed and no matter what I try, it refuses to let me to do so! :(

All the same ... would love to see what you are making with your great score of batting/flannel!

Have fun making them ... and be sure to make one, just for you! :)

Using the flannelette sounds perfect for table runners, especially when placing dishes or glasses on them. I worry a little about the thicker runners causing a tip over of a beverage if not placed carefully on them.

I only use a single layer of flannel with anything for the table because I do not want the poof of batting. I use the tall wine glass test - does it tip when almost empty? I find that a cotton top, back and one layer of flannel has never been an issue.
