Hi to all my friends. I want to make a couple dog blankets and want to embroider on flannel. Can someone or everyone give me ideas? Do I need to first wash and dry this material a couple times? This is just for my little dog and my little granddog (lol) so nothing that has to be perfect. I am going to make them each a quilt of their own. I will embroider on the flannel and use fleece for the back. Any suggestions would be helpful and fun. Thank you and hope everyone has a great weekend.

Always pre wash flannel (except when makeing rag quilt) it can shrink several inches per yard....when embroidering if your stitches seem to 'sink into' the fabric you may want to consider putting on a top piece of stabilizer, either a melt away or wash away, (what you would use on fleece or towels) otherwise you could loose it into the fabric.....

Yes, always prewash flannel.
I do not have an embroidery machine, so cannot help with that.
However, I would only embroider the dogs name. Flannel is usually checked or striped and too heavy a looking fabric to be embroidered.
