Flannel as batting
I agree. It’s a great light weight batting. I also prewash. It’s the only fabric I prewash. Perfect for a runner or even a Denim or rag quilt you want a little lighter.

After washing and drying the flannel, starch and iron it. I do that to all the flannel I use in sewing. I took a very expensive workshop and we were instructed to starch and iron the flannel before cutting.

All the same ... would love to see what you are making with your great score of batting/flannel!
Have fun making them ... and be sure to make one, just for you!

Using the flannelette sounds perfect for table runners, especially when placing dishes or glasses on them. I worry a little about the thicker runners causing a tip over of a beverage if not placed carefully on them.

I only use a single layer of flannel with anything for the table because I do not want the poof of batting. I use the tall wine glass test - does it tip when almost empty? I find that a cotton top, back and one layer of flannel has never been an issue.
