What's the difference between plain flannel and brushed flannel?

Cool!!
Thanks for signing up. I will PM my mailing address to each of you.
Ok, unwashed it is unless you have already washed it. Just note on the packages that is has been washed.

Brushed vs. flannel.............
I know the difference but can't really explain it so any help would be great!! )
When I look at it as "brushed cotton" that says it exactly. Flannel is much heavier.
Help on this one!! ))

Yes Evie, there are QIAD patterns that are FQ friendly.

Oh, Oh, Oh. Yes I can feel the itch and I cannot resist. Just verify for me that fabric may be from Joann's or some other not too, too pricey shop and count me in. Also, I really should know, but not positive of the pattern for "Turning Twenty." Can someone help? This sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks for starting it, Becky. Carol

I am thinking that maybe brushed flannel and chambray are the same?

Becky, "minipeach" is not on the list, she's new to the forum (my future DIL), so please sign her up! Thanks! We're going to order our blue flannel this morning!

This is going to be a really technical explanation, so bear with me....brushed flannel is "roughed up" where it has somewhat of a nap on the right side, but the wrong side is just like regular cotton fabric. Flannel is much thicker and heavier. I think brushed is just a "flannel wannabe"! LOL! I have a lot of it but can't describe it very well!

Are you talking about brushed cotton?

Please sign me up! I am excited.

Please count me in! I have never made a flannel quilt!
