Flannel and shrinkage?
#11
Always wash flannel. It shrinks much more than other cottons. And...I learned the hard way that the Snuggle Flannels, Cozy Flannel Solids, and Quilter's Flannels all vary in shrinkage. Be careful when you combine brands of flannel.

I always wash flannel on warm and dry it long in the dryer. Flannel shrinks and I'd rather it shrink before rather than after. The first quilt my DIL made was flannel and she didn't know to wash the fabric. When she washed the quilt it fell apart due to the shrinkage.
