Kona Premium Muslin?
I was wondering if anyone can give me a review of the Kona Premium Muslin? I am looking at the 118" wide that Fabric.com sells for $8.98/yd
I've read a lot of people say that this is good for backings and foundation piecing.
I am looking for a fabric I can dye- and will be suitable for using as a main quilting fabric.
Any thoughts?
(I know it is not a prepared-for-dye fabric, and that it won't take dye as well as one, but as long as the sizing is washed out, I think it should still work for first experiments, here I am mostly worried about the hand.)
Thanks!

I'm hoping I like it as well as I purchased 4 yards of the premium white when it was on sale last week. They wrote me back to say that they only had two 2 yard cuts and would I accept that ... yup!! I didn't have anything specific planned for it (like a backing) so it was no big deal. I was quite pleased they gave me the option to cancel that item from the order or accept what they had.
I might also try my hand at dying it!!

i have dyed this fabric many times---to prepare for dyeing simply pre-wash it- with detergent...no fabric softener...this removes the sizing, any oils & grime that may be on it...it dyes beautifully...one of my go-to favorite backings...muslin just gets softer more beautiful with use, laundering, loving.
i've been buying fabrics from fabric.com for over 10 years - their muslins are some of the best out there. I love the wide fabrics for dyeing my own backs-one of my favorite things to do
