Flannel Tips SEWING Use a scant seam allowance due to the thicker seams. Use a slightly longer stitch length. If possible, loosen the presser foot pressure slightly. Cotton thread is recommended. Patterns specific for non-flannels may be used if pieces are larger. When pressing, it is acceptable to use steam.  Just be sure to press down on the seams, not iron across seams, which may stretch the flannel. PRE-WASHING To pre-wash or not to pre-wash is a personal choice.  Flannels that are not pre-washed will shrink more the first time the finished quilt is washed.  Pre-washed flannels will shrink before use & have a firmer weave for easier handling when sewn.  Pre-washing is a good idea if you are making a scrap flannel project that includes fabrics from several companies, since they may shrink differently.  There will be additional shrinkage when the finished quilt is washed.  Flannels may continue to shrink for several washings.  When washing the finished quilt, use cold water & a gentle cycle.  The quilt may be line dried or put in a cool dryer. BATTING & QUILTING Dense, compact, cotton or cotton blend battings such as Warm & Natural, Hobb's Heirloom Cotton, and Quilter's Dream will work well. Polar fleece backing may be used with no batting. Basting spray works well on flannels. Simple quilting such as stitch in the ditch and/or cross-hatching may be used as long as there is adequate quilting to support the type of batting used. More intricate quilting also works well & looks wonderful after the quilt has been washed. Cotton thread works very well for quilting.  Rayon thread may also be used.   These tips are from personal observations & experiences only.
