I have used a few. The fairy frost from Michael Miller is a gorgeous fabric but it is a little hard to iron and I have had all the "sparkle" wash out of place mats that I made. Of course they have been washed dozens of times.
I have a nice collection of oriental fabrics that have the gold etching. I hope they hold up a little better but have not used them, or washed them enough to say how they will hold up.
