Have made several quilts with CT flannels and have not been disappointed.

I'd rather use CT flannels than JAF's any day!

Good to know as I have been very disappointed with JAF flannel. They used to have good, thick flannel, but not anymore!

I have enjoyed all that I have received from Connecting Threads.

I have just used JAF flannel for a backing and am disappointed. It is shedding quite a bit. I did wash it first. It will be OK but I will have to brush off the finished quilt with clothing brush before I donate it. I don't use flannel very often but thought it would be nice for this quilt which I am sending to upstate NY. It's CT for me next time!

I had a very bad experience with JAF flannel. It just shredded and fell apart while I was working with it. That's why I asked. My guess is that it's not consistent. It sounds like the Connecting Threads flannel is consistent, so I will try it. Thanks for the advice.
