In my search for an affordable fabric to start with, I found some muslin listed on Ebay.
This is what the seller says about it - This is 36 inch wide light weight muslin. This was not on the correct cardboard when I bought it. My best guess, after going to the fabric store, is that it is bleached pern. press muslin. |
For me personally I would rather stick with fabric of a known content- Muslin can be tricky(?) to begin with then throw in the uncertainty of content - nope - not for me, sorry
what about Joanns when it is on sale ? |
Thin muslin is good for foundation piecing, but not sure about using it for regular piecing or backing :D:D:D
|
If you mean physically going to a Joanns store, I'll have to wait about a year to do that. They don't have any of those in Japan. Maybe I could find something from their online stores?
The only thing I ever used muslin for was doing a drape/pattern making. |
I have found Muslin courser and rougher than cotton, I use a heck of a lot of it, plain, for foundation scrap piecing, backings for place-mats, wall-hangings etc; and bag linings

Light weight muslin may be to flimsy for piecing.

Thanks everyone :) So the muslin is out for this project then. The price was pretty nice though.
What does everyone think of a cotton broadcloth? Too heavy? The finished blocks will be 4 layers thick. I also don't know about the eventual cost. I will need somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 yards. |
