I have always liked moda. And the moda I have gotten is pretty stable and the moda flannel I used in one of those "rag quilts" did not work out as well as I had planned as it was the only fabric in my rag quilt that refused to "rag" Even after 20 years and multiple washings, I can easily tell the moda fabric by the little curls of fabric that did not ravel. I did read recently though that the manufacturers are actually starting to make a "lighter" fabric that is called quilting cotton. ummm....maybe my large vintage stash just went up in value.
