You can minimize fraying by just washing in the shortest cycle. On my machine, that's the delicate cycle. I get hardly any strings since I switched to doing that. Any bleeding will take place within that short period.

I have made several flannel wuilts, and I never washed the flannel. Never had a problem afterwards either.

Of course, the needle holes are still there, but they would usually be covered by a seam allowance.
