It's nice fabric - but you might want to check on the fiber content.
I was thinking the same thing. I bought some years ago for one of my first quilts and didn't know any better. The needle would hit it just wrong and cause it to run like pantyhose almost. Please double-check the fabric content or try a burn test on it.
What is the "burn test"? I inherited some fabric from my MIL and some are questionable whether they are 100% cotton. I can sometimes tell by the smell of them when they are ironed. The cotton/polyester blend material has a bad smell to it. I would love to know another method to tell the difference.
