Good muslin feels and looks as good as any printed fabric.........using printed fabs on backs has certainly helped pay the rent for many LQS....

years ago muslin was what everyone used for backing. Then pretty backings came along. I use muslin on my wall hangings to. Th wall does'nt see or care.

Muslin is either natural or bleached.....I am now doing a cathedral window using bleached muslin, which I purchased at JAF and it feels and looks as good as KONA white - had a piece in my hand from home for comparison....

Yes, there a many grades, from tissue thin to "good feel"......

I normally use a coordinating print for backing, and have received many positive comments on it, I guess by people who found a plain backing boring. To me it's more about having to clean a light colored backing more often.

I use muslin or sheets as backings all the time.

I've used muslin for backing lots of times. Love it!

Unless the quilt is a throw where both sides will be seen often, I usually use muslin. Why pay lots of $$ for a back that no one will see?

On all most all the quilts I have made, I use Legacy muslin from JoAnn. I buy it buy the bolt when there is a sale and/or I have a coupon.

I love premium legacy muslin from joanns, washes up soft and has a nice weave to it, I use it to embroider

NO, I stopped using muslin because it shows up any little imperfection with my machine quilting especially since the top may be a darker shade. I don't like seeing those dots of ecru thread on a dark top when FMQ.
