try looking at quilting web sites like keepsake quilting or clothilde -- they have descriptions and pictures. Many countries have a different meaning for muslin so I would imagine that the quilters term is the "american" one

So does that mean that all natural and white cotton fabric can be called muslin? Or is there still a difference?

(And for those who speak Dutch, is there a Dutch term for muslin?)
