Look for the premium Legacy muslin at joann's. It is the only one I buy and is good quality, washes up really nice. I use it for my embroidery. I buy the 108 inch one with coupons or when it goes on sale. There are different qualities of muslin at joanns but it is also usually reflected in the price. The cheaper they are the thinner they are
