best muslin
#2
Kona puts out a very nice muslin which can be bought at JoAnns and other places I have used other muslins also with pleasing results, such as Legacy. I love the softness of muslin. I used to use solid Kona but the price has raised so much that I looked for an alternative.

I bought some " premuim? muslin from my LQS.... wowzers!!! I never did get it to iron FLAT... it stiffened up like old leather... I think with time and washings it will soften, but the first couple of time around.... it was murder!!!! I steamed and sprinkled, a spritzed and steamed some more... never did get it wrinkle free... just got it good enough to cut GDtrs bloomers out... it is nice heavy muslin, and the weave tightened up nicely , but I"m glad dtr likes to iron!!!! wont buy it again...

I just made a complete quilt w/Southern Bell creamy mulin. The different sqaures were appliqued, manipulated to go into various shapes, had elastic thread sewen and shrunk, etc and it is such a pretty quilt. I love it. I had bought some from Walmarts on the bolt and was going to use it to back a lap quilt until I saw the difference in quality. Now it will be cut into blocks and used to practice free motion quilting on; then I'll do the quilt as you go method and make a quilt for the kids to play on; not wanting to waste anything
