I would appreciate any advice you have for me.
Thanks!
I've discovered that 70s and 80s thick double knits make an excellent backing for table top items. Just thick enough to make quilting show and not too slippery for use on a table. I inherited a ton of double knit scraps so anything I can do with them I'll try. I know that double knits don't follow some folks strict idea of quilting, but I'm old enough that I come from the "make do" generation.
