Ok, I've been sewing forever and a week and have used all sorts of fabrics for all sorts of purposes.
Why is there such a definite prejudice among quilters against polyester and poly/cotton blends?
Is it a matter of 'staying true to our roots' or something else?
Or is it related to different ironing temperature required if you are going to use fusible web for applique?
So far I haven't encountered any noticeable difficulties using fabrics of unknown fiber content in my quilts (some of which I suspect are 100% polyester), so I wondered what is going on.
