Agree! that has been my experience that the home-printer fabric sheets end up being harder.
I have just used them for labels, so have not had quilting problems, but can see it might be a concern.

Did you know?? .... There are different brands with different thread counts, and kind of fabrics used.

It would be interesting to know if other brands/types are softer, and more quilting-friendly.

Does anyone have the answer?
