This may be just as impossible as herding cats - but could we get back to
the question? She asked how long it took before the flannel quit shedding.
I've seen some very cuddly, soft, lovely raggedy flannel quilts. It just was
not meant to be with mine. It has been just a few weeks since I lost the
flannel battle and no one here stepped forward with surefire successful
guidance. Polly

She is stating in a very subtle way, I think, that since the majority of
the group is in the over 40 crowd, the general preference of the group
is try not to put anything out there that you won't mind yer mum reading.

My mum wouldn't understand the reference and would have to ask my da.

A certain amout of "in yer faceness" is welcome and fresh, and I
personally love your enthusiasm. However, you are on the edge of
offending some of those with more delicate sensibilities, so be wary.
You may offend without meaning to. I think that if you do, anyone who
finds offense can always make a filter.

I have seen and personally said worse here though, and I've braved flame
groups myself. Feel free to email me for more clarification, or if you
would like to take me to task for this post.

Of course you are interpreting the word by the UK meaning. I meant it as I
would use it in the US. It wasn't until I saw the subject line that I
realized that the meaning to me wouldn't be the same meaning in the UK or
elsewhere. Since it is an international group of adults, I still figured
that most would think it is something that got jumbled in translation, not a
rude subject line.

BTW, what DO you call these quilts in the UK? We call them shag here. I'll
change the subject line so this discussion can die but, really, I meant no
offense. That's REALLY what we call it.

Some washers have lint filters that you can clean yourself. Our old
Maytag had one beneath the fabric softener cup in the agitator. It was
easy to clean every load or so. That's the washer I used when I did my
raggedy quilt. I cleaned the filter several times while the quilt was
washing. I don't think I got an extraordinary amount of lint in the
dryer filter.

The newer Maytags don't have the removable, easy to clean, lint filter.
Supposedly they have been redesigned so they don't need the
clean-it-yourself filter.

I've most commonly seen them as rag or ragg quilts. I didn't see anything wrong with
your subject line, though it gave me a giggle.

How long were the ends that you clipped before you fuzzed them up? (I'm
going to try and never say that s-word again even though that's what *I*
call it. Gads.)

I was wondering if the fringes were too long if it took longer for them to
shred off? Maybe they should only be 1/2" long or so? Mine are 1".

The best shaggy quilt tip I ever got was to make the seam allowances only 1/2"
instead of the more common 3/4". The result is a lovely "chenille" appearance,
instead of thready. Also, less thread in the washer/dryer!

I did speak to the man o' the house and he assures me there is no lint
filter in this washer.

LOL. Sorry.

Mine was 1/2 inch seam allowance. I clipped every 1/3". Two runs
through, and it was fuzzy enough for me, and did not shed all over the
couch where it resides.

The cat hair on the other hand....

Yep, I thought that might be it! Thanks. I'll clip 'em all down before I
wash it.

Yeah, right. It was over a 100 hundred dollar repair bill for our new Kenmore
when I washed a raggedy flannel quilt.
