Yes, CoyoteQuilts, that sounds very much like the fabric I have!!!

Re: Flannel or brushed cotton?
I used some fabric that was the Holly Taylor Northwoods collection brushed cotton and had no problem with it at all. This was not as heavy or thick as flannel, but was not stretchy at all, it was sort of between a flannel and a regular cotton fabric.

Re: Flannel or brushed cotton?
Well, I have now started quilting with it, and because it is my first time free motion machine quilting I don't really know what it is supposed to be like, but.... to my inexperienced eye, it looks like it is working absolutely great!
No puckering so far - the 505 basting spray is really doing its job - and I just love doing the free motion thing! It is soooo much fun! Will have seriously sore shoulders/neck tomorrow, though, because I still haven't figured out how to do it without tensing my shoulders and raising them so far up that they are constantly touching my ears...
