To understand 100 Percent COTTON fabrics, start with the basics: muslin and solids. Muslin comes in many qualities (low price to higher price) plus different colors: (bleached white/Natural/Cream/Tea-Dyed). You want Premium Muslin, which usually means 128 threads per inch, both lengthwise, and crosswise. Do not buy cheap flimsy muslin with thread counts of 60 or lower. For Solid Fabrics, there are two brand names that I would start with as a beginning quilter: KONA Solids or Bella. These come in more than 100 colors, to match anything that you can imagine. KONA threads are thicker so there is a lower thread count, while Bella seems to be a finer weave, but both are very dependable and very good quality. To buy fabrics, go to a good Fabric Store where the shopkeeper will explain things to you. Ask questions. Take a class. And most of all, have fun.
