quality flannel?

    quality flannel?
    on: August 27, 2008, 06:53:27 AM
    I asked this in another thread, but I think my question will get lost there...

    How do you decide if flannel is of good quality--not the stuff that gets all stretched and threadbare? Also, any specific brand suggestions or sources? Thanks!

      You could buy quilters' flannel - that is nice and thick. Ignore the label that tells you there is no need to prewash it, however - it shrinks a LOT.

      Benartex makes nice flannels.

        Maywood's Woolies flannel is great!  It's super soft and thick.

          I like to use Moda flannels.  They don't pill or fade after lots of washes.
