Hello all! I will include a link below...and another in a follow up reply!

One is from lands end and the other from garnet hill.

Both are made in Portugal.

I have a coupon for 40% off for the lands end flannel so the price will be similar to the garnet hill.

I'm thinking the lands end seems better...but wondered what you think?

Here is a link that might be useful: Lands end

Sort by:Oldest

Based solely on the reviews and information provided, I'd agree that the Land's End seems better.

I was able to sort the Garnet Hill reviews from low to high and there are several negative reviews.

I wasn't able to have the Land's End reviews appear in that order, so I went to the end and saw the low ones. Most were saying they were too large ("over generous") and one complained that a corner came un-stitched.

Hello B. I make the embroidery first. If you do the embroidery with all layers of material you'll see the back stiches of the design which is not very nice. I'm not familiar with the "flat flannel diapers" material you are using. I use regular cotton or terrycloth for bibs and burp cloths. If I use cotton I add some Tear-away" under the material and with terrycloth I also use the same stabiliser but I also add one layer of Clear and Melt (it looks like Saran wrap) over the terrycloth to prevent the stitches to go through the fibers. I also use a Jeans Needle to embroider the terrycloth. Then I make the "sandwich" : top material + batting + back material just like we do in patchwork. Most of the time, I do some stitches (simple straight stitches will do ok but you can also use decoratives stitches) over those layers so they stay together (just the way we do in patchwork). As for the batting, it is a matter of choice. I some time use polyester batting and sometimes cotton batting. For burp cloths I prefer polyester, it dries faster than cotton ... I hope you understand what I have been writting .. I'm francophone so it is not always easy for me to explain in English. A.

I often make gifts ahead of the baby, nodakgal. Socks' example above would do as well for a boy or a girl. I even make pink or blue sweaters and booties and hats and just set them aside for the next baby. My kids and their friends seem to be having lots of babies these days. Babies are going to be popping all over come fall. We're kind of hoping for a girl in the fall as we just don't have a granddaughter yet. Once I know the sex of the baby in June, the needles will be flying.

I've used flannel (no batting) a few times now and I really like it. And it's true you need to prewash it not only for shrinkage but to check on the colorfastness. Joannes has some very pretty quilting flannels, but for backing I buy it at Walmart (there is one store left here that still carries fabric) and it's 108 inches wide. It's not the best looking, only in solid colors, but the quality is good enough. I haven't found wide flannel anywhere else, I'm sure you can get it online but don't know if you can get it in anything besides solids. Although I like the idea of using fleece, I've never sewn on it and I don't know if it requires different handling. I've always thought that it might be stretchy, and I'm not familiar with sewing on that kind of stuff.

Thanks my3dogs;) i noticed that as well...the only negative about the lands end sheets was the siize. I have a 16" mattress and it looks as though it accommodates up to 18". I hope they will be snug enough. Nothing worse than sheets bunching up! I just ordered them...we'll see!

I know that you already ordered so I just wanted to add
I had purchased one set last fall and loved the 6oz flannel
so much I ordered a second set when they had a 40% coupon.
Just ordered a flannel duvet with this new 40% coupon.

Irish2...great to hear! So, it sounds like I made a good choice. The coupon is good for another day...I'm tempted to order another bedding accessory too...I wonder if I can use the coupon twice. If not...I'll just have my mom order it and I'll reimburse her;)

We have flannel sheets for all beds for winter months that came from Garnet Hill, purchased about five years ago. The sheets are in good shape, no pIlling, but they continue to shrink a tiny bit, it seems, with every wash. We can now barely fit them on the beds. They may have changed vendors --- probably have, since 2007--- but I would not buy them again from Garnet Hill.
