hi,

Just curious - what's the difference between broadcloth and other "regular" fabric - other than the price? Does broadcloth perform well over the long haul in a quilt?

It has a different texture, I don't think it is as soft as the cottons we normally use... :D:D:D

"Broadcloth is a densely woven solid fabric usually made of Cotton either in a blend of Polyester/ Cotton, or 100% Cotton. Broadcloth is an extremely sturdy and very soft fabric most commonly used for quilting, crafts, apparel, men's shirts, display and tabletops.

I use broadcloth for my borders. It works really well

I love cotton broadcloth. I just used it for a quilt backing.
Mine was really soft.
