Broadcloth 100% cotton
#1
Can you use a 100% Broadcloth for quilting? I am making an LSU quilt and want to use the bold colors of purple and gold that come in the broadcloths. Is it too thick and will it be able to be put on a long arm machine?
Thanks for your help..Jenny

Broadcloth in Canada may either be 100% cotton (just fine for quilting) or polycotton (65% polyester 35% cotton) that many of the Mennonites use but my guild members will not. My domestic machine quilts either using my walking foot but the polycotton will get puckers on the back unless you pin or baste really well and check often. I think it is another of those quilter`s choice decisions.

I am sure you could use broadcloth in a quilt. However, I bought some broadcloth that you could see through. After that, I purchased royal broadcloth that is suppose to be better quality, but you can see through it too.....very thin.
