I inspected these straight out of the package for any missed stitches around the elastic, found none. The elastic is all the way around on the fitted sheet, nice. Washed and dried beautifully. Very deep pockets, nice. Actually a little deeper than I need but that's okay. The pattern when put on the bed is just amazing. Beautiful spring colors but just a few deep red colors to make it match my deep red bed skirt. Nice long fit on flat sheet (top to bottom of bed). I would buy again for sure. I've never slept on flannel because I sleep pretty hot. But winter is almost here so I'll see about that.
