It is very important how iron a flannel shirt. To answer the question: Yes, you can iron flannel. It's probably close in weight to cotton batting. Maybe a bit lighter. It's probably warmer. By the way, I've never made one and was wondering what size seam allowance makes a nice rag. Last edited by rebeccas-sewing ; October 20, , AM. I haven't used fleece in them. I have a bunch of cheap flannel that I got at a yard sale, thin stuff not good for much but it makes a great inner layer on my rag quilts.
It isn't heavy or bunchy, I just cut it the same size as my blocks and there's more to fray and add to the raggy look that way. October 20, , PM. Re: ironing flannel Being a really new quilter, I'm really reluctant to add to this discussion with quilters much more experienced that I am, but I thought you're not supposed to wash the flannel before you cut and sew it so that the edges will ravel more and get fluffier.
I've made a couple of rag quilts, and the quilt shop advised me not to wash anything until the end. Mine didn't have batting between the layers. Would that be the reason for the advice I was given?
Re: ironing flannel I don't prewash my flannel for rag quilts so they "rag" more after washing. Flannel does seem to shrink a bit so you will lose some of your size. What we do for others and the world, is and remains immortal.
Re: ironing flannel It's okay not to wash flannel if that is the only fabric the quilt is made of, but if you are combining cotton and flannel, you need to wash first and dry on a pretty high temp. The flannel will shrink much more than the cotton, and if you wait till the project is finished, it will pucker. However, ironing it incorrectly can make it look too flat or even too shiny.
Read on for some precautions and tips on how to iron flannel shirts and sheets. In the absence of a no-iron shirt or blouse, a flannel shirt can be a great alternative that sets you apart from the crowd due to its unique texture. But different types of textures depend on what the flannel is made of — cotton, wool, or synthetic materials. Check the tag before you start ironing. See what the care tag says. If it says not to iron, you may need to throw it in the wash and follow the care instructions as if it were dirty, to get the wrinkles out.
If you have an iron with a wool, synthetic, or cotton setting, ironing a flannel is as easy as switching the setting on the iron. When in doubt, use the coolest setting on the iron.
