    I bought 108 inch flannel from Joann's years ago, actually it must have been bigger than 108 because it was a king size quilt. That was when the flannel was better quality. Just an FYI Marshalls is selling the 108 for $7.99 a yard, I just love their fabrics.

    Very true. I toss a finished quilt in the drier with a wet towel and "steam" the quilt. Most of the time the "pokies" disappear.

    Thank you all! I just love this board - good, fast answers! I used a different color bobbin on my longarm for the first time ... and, it did Not show through. Yay Also, for some reason, this long-fibered blanket did not show through. Not sure what that was about other than the other one using that blanket was done with light lavender sashing, and it was a darker gray blanket and this time it is a red sashing. Maybe the darker color keeps it from showing. Anymore, it looks great. I did the diagnoal plaid from Urban Elementz on the T-shirt quilt. Thanks everyone again!
