I've seen muslin in every fabric store I've ever been in - I've never bought any. Now I'm working on a quilt where the list of materials calls for muslin for the pieced top.

Most of the muslin I've looked at appears thin and loosely woven -- almost like broadcloth. I'm rather leary about using muslin in a top along with "better" fabrics.

So - what defines muslin? Is it similar to broadcloth? Is it special in some way?

I've done a little searching on the board and members mention Kona brand and bleached and unbleached, so I know it's not a brand or color. Board members also commented on how much it shrinks -- but it's not unbrushed flannel, is it?
