A.E. Nathan Comfy Flannel Micro Dot Blue — 44" Cotton Flannel by the Yard, Double-Napped Plush

Comfy Flannel Micro Dot Blue by A.E. Nathan is a double-napped, 44" wide cotton flannel sold by the yard, ideal for quilting and soft apparel.

This double-brushed flannel features a subtle blue-and-white micro dot motif and a plush hand on both sides. Cut to order in continuous lengths, the fabric ships in standard 36"-length segments per yard and is made in Pakistan. Care is simple—machine wash cold and tumble dry low—to keep colour and softness consistent.

How does this flannel behave in quilting projects?

The double-napped finish gives block and patchwork quilts a cosy, consistent texture on both sides, making it suitable for exposed seams and low-fray edges. Its medium weight helps quilts hold structure while remaining drapable.

• 44" usable width fits common quilt block layouts without heavy joins
• Double-brushed surface reduces pilling and enhances loft
• Subtle micro dots add quiet pattern interest without overpowering prints
• Sold by the yard in continuous 36" lengths per yard for accurate cutting

Can I use this fabric for garments like shirts and pyjamas?

Yes—the soft, brushed finish on both sides makes it comfortable next-to-skin for shirts, pyjamas, and lounge wear. The fabric’s weight and hand create warmth without excessive bulk, and seams finish cleanly with standard sewing techniques.

• Double-napped surface is gentle on skin for sleepwear
• Machine-washable care simplifies garment maintenance
• 44" width accommodates pattern layouts for shirts and sleep bottoms

What are the practical details about sizing, washing, and origin?

Fabric is 44" wide and sold by the yard, cut to order in continuous lengths (one yard = 44" x 36"). It is made in Pakistan and should be laundered in cold water and tumble dried on low to preserve softness and colour.

• Sold by yard: Qty = number of 36" lengths (e.g., 3 yards = 44" x 108")

How does the micro dot pattern affect project design choices?

The small-scale blue-and-white dots provide a gentle visual texture that pairs well with both solids and larger prints. It acts as a neutral companion in patchwork or as a subtle main fabric when you want understated patterning.

• Micro dots read as soft texture at a distance and clear motif up close
• Works as a background, border, or coordinating print in multi-fabric projects
• Blue-and-white colouring complements warm and cool palettes
