i bought a fabric called super muslin from Walmart and i really like working with it. It is smooth and holds it's shape very well and my free motion quilting makes some great patterns when i use muslin. The only thing i notice is that because it is a little stiff, i'm not sure how cuddly it is. I made sure i didn't do too much quilting on it or it would be stiffer still. I know it will hold up through time tho...it is very strong.
