It is all made from flannel. Yes - my first quilt was on flannel! and I didn't have any problems with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenMcManus Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Darlene, Awesome! It looks fabulous! Is that a panto? I love flannel, it\'s so cozy and comfy. I also like that corner table and lamp. Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmwife Darlene Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Thanks Shana and Teresa! That means a lot from y\'all. I\'ve seen your beautiful quilts!! :) I read all the threads here about flannel and I just measured it from side to side each time I advanced the quilt. It wasn\'t that bad really. I used lots of air to keep the bobbin clean and just kept measuring it. It was so much fun I can\'t wait to load my next quilt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
