2 layers of flannel with a 6 inch batting square in the center- a one inch seam, but only because my Studio die cuts an 8 1/2" square with the fringe and a one inch seam is needed. The larger the seam allowance, the more fringe you'll get. I've posted a couple of my rag quilts recently you can click on my name and find the postings.

I use flannel and ½" seam allowance. Sew a couple of samples and see what seam you like best.
Here is a link for rag quilting 101. Says to use a 1 inch seam allowance.

I use 3 layers of flannel, 6" squares, and 1/2" seam. They turn out really nice. You don't have to use a walking foot. I love that lavender one IBEESEWIN made with the 8 1/2" squares. Might have to try that next☺

ibeesewin: Really like your colors in the quilt, very nice. I'm making one with denim and cotton. The only one I have made before was flannel. They are fun to make, unitl you have to cut all that fringe.
