Default Old bed sheet

Just learning free motion quilting and I had a old white cotton bed sheet that I made my quilt sandwiches with. I noticed the bobbin thread pulling to the top. I lowered the top tension until it was as low as it would go and still the bobbin thread came up. I was talking to my mom and she said she had heard that you shouldn't use bed sheets because the weave was to tight and that might be why I was having problems. Does anyone know if this is true about bed sheets? I had bought it at an estate sale to try with free motion quilting so I wouldn't waste my fabric.
