I use it because I am an old fashioned quilter, and it was used a lot back when! Also I buy it by the bolt, 90" wide, and no seams in my backing most of the time. It also comes 108" wide! It has a feel that you can't get from any other material! Can't explain it , just the feel that I love to hand quilt! :D
