Morning All...
I have a quick question. I've read here on QB that some use bed sheets as backing fabric for their quilts. (I will assume that they are of the 100% cotton variety.) My question is: what thread count in the sheets is best to use? (180, 400, 600 etc.) I've noticed that the higher the count, the more expensive the sheet is and was also wondering if using sheets is really a good buy in comparison to buying fabric. I've also noticed that the higher the thread count, the "silkier" the sheet feels and I wonder if they are "stiff" enough for quilt backs.
Thanks for your input! Have a great day!
