Hi,
I am a newbie and will be taking my first class this weekend. One of the classes we have signed up for is a rag quilting class and we were told that you can't use flannels that are white backed and that sure limits the selection of fabrics ordering online.Let alone shopping here and the prices at the LQS are $10 a yd. Was wondering if there is a way around this.

use what you want. the quilt police don't really exist. I consider it a personal challenge if someone tells me "you can't" do x or y. I think what is meant is that the raggy part will not be as colorful if it is white on the back. I've never thought about this or worried about it and I make a lot of raggy quilts--have used all flannel, all non-flannel, and a combination of the two.
