Sew with universal needle and you'll be fine going through the knits and the wovens. I always use flannel as my sashing when making t-shirt quilts. Oh and the long armers really do not want to quilt them. I use zig-zag or a small curvy stitch to quilt these.

I have found a regular needle works fine.

Would flannel be good for backing too?
