design board flannel or felt?
I plan of purchasing what I need to cover a 48" x 72" cork board to use for a design board. I know lots use flannel but Joanne's has a sale on felt for $2.99/yard and it is 72" wide. Does anyone know if it works as well as flannel. Also what color do you all prefer? White or cream?

I use white felt stretched over the pink insulation boards from hardware store. The felt holds blocks up beautifully, and when you have a larger piece with lots of seams which make it heavier, a straight pin into the insulation does the trick. I too vacuum. Did not wash, but certainly could have -- poly felt is washable. I went with felt because I was able to get a 96 inch width so no seams in the wall. And it was a lot cheaper than equal amount of good quality flannel would have been.
