I could see different kinds of muslin sold at Joann's. Which kind should I be getting? If I'm quilting on 100% cotton for the real quilt, will the tension differ much from muslin? Just wondering should I be practicing on the exact 100% fabrics I'm working on. I'm practicing on scraps and some leftover fabrics which I feel is such a waste.
