I haven't bought muslin from a store for years. I get it bleached and unbleached, and I like the unbleached better!

I wonder why it has changed so much?

It's not an expensive material, and I use a lot of it Not too many of us quilters still use it on the backs of our quilts! Next time I am in a store , I'll check it out! Thanks for giving me the heads up! :D
