Yes, true, I've heard that too.
I'm doing FMQ on my own machine.
I also was told to stick with the 250 thread count to avoid the tight weave.
The hand feel of these is very nice! Feel just like the $12/yd LQS fabric I have. The test will occur after washing. Will it hold color once the sizing is washed out? I am hopeful!
It's like a sateen muslin, not as heavy as kona. I should weigh it before cutting into it to compare it to some others I have.

Would hate to have it sent back or have the backing changed because of it. I don't LAQ so I don't have first hand knowledge of what problems is caused - but I have read that some will not use them. Just a heads up to avoid possible problems when time to send out for quilting. (And of course, this may not even apply to all sheets...)
