It quilted beautifly but just thinner. I also got a bolt from "Park Avenue" by 3 Sisters for Moda BUTTTT that one was the same weight as the normal 44/45". So go figure....
I'm seeing a lot of posts about Moda fabric. My experience this past year or two has been that Moda fabric is not what it once was. Lately I find it to be much thinner, and it ravels BADLY!!! I have had a full 1/4 inch seam fall apart because of raveling, but it only seems to happen with Moda fabric. And it happens often enough that I've stopped buying Moda for that reason. Joann's 44" fabric is a hit or miss on quality, but I've found their 108" fabric to be very good.
