If you were using 30's reproduction fabrics and couldn't use white for background, etc. what would you use?
Best quality unbleached domestic (muslin.) You can get it at JoAnn's and it feels like satin. You'll often find a really good sale on it or use a 40 or 50 percent coupon when it isn't on sale. froggyintexas
