This is true I have used sheets before for backing and I found it very hard to hand quilt.

I have friends who buy colored sheets for the back, but I haven't tried it yet.
Someone on this board came back from Paducah and said that Mr. Hancock of Hancocks of Paducah had told her that fabric was going up. Ouch!
Good idea except I saw someplace not to use sheets because the thread count is too small and the needle going through the fabric, breaks the small threads and makes holes.
