What to Look For
Fiber and Weight
Choose soft red plaid flannel for pajamas and throws, quilting cotton for patchwork, and heavier woven fabrics for jackets or upholstery.
Woven vs. Printed
Yarn-dyed plaids look the same on both sides, while printed checks show the design on one face. Either way, allow extra yardage so you can match the pattern at seams.
