I make valances fir my kitchen using quilting cottons. I always line them. I have also used quilting cottons for my bedroom..matching the quilt, shams, and dust ruffle that I made. Yes..I lined the curtains too. I buy quilt shop name brand fabrics. I have been happy with the outcome.
Wide Backing fabric is a different greige good. (base fabric) it us not as tightly woven as the 45. This keeps the price lower for 108" vs. using/manufacturing wide goods using the same greige goods as the 45".
