I use them on occasion, especially on quilts I am using as throws on the couch, or picnic benches, etc... everyday stuff.
I get a few customers who ask if I will quilt a top using a sheet as the backing...I tell them to buy the lowest thread count they can, and wash & dry at least 3 times before sending to me. Sheets quilt a lot like batiks..and can be troublesome.

Do you use sheets in your quilts? Why or why not?
I've always heard not to use them, but I will use it for backing. I just don't know why you're not supposed to so I thought the thousands of people on QB could give their opinions!!
