speaking of Kona muslin..do you fond after you wash it, it is dang near impossible to get the wrinkles out? i did. i loved the feel, the quality, and the price. but i had a heck of a time pressing it..

I have not had a problem with the wrinkles. If you haven't tried it, try washing in cold water and taking Kona out of the dryer just before it is completely dry. I hang it over the shower until it is completely dry - about an hour or so.

Hi Cindy,
I like the look of a coordinating fabric for my backs. Plus I've spent a small fortune on the top in money and time, so I prefer the "rich" look of fabric backing.

I have a sister in law who hand quilts. She is meticulous and works for years on quilts which are beautiful when completed---until you look at the back and see the plain muslin.

Not for me.

I use muslin (kona cotton 200 thread count) - usually white for my backing on quilts -- it gives me the appearance I want with my quilts -- I usually do not wash fabric before quilting it and want it to have that old look and the Kona cotton muslin does that...Have had not problem with it and it feels great before and after it is washed.... And it holds up really well and I just love it.... Sometimes you can see the quilting on the front of the quilt and the back is a better picture of the quilting.

I've wondered about this for a long time: What is the difference between bleached and unbleached muslin?

after reading this topic, i decided to get kona muslin for backing for a couple of quilts i'm hoping to piece soon. it wasn't on sale at joann's but i had a 40% off coupon. the clerk asked if a had a coupon while she was cutting it. then she gave me 50% off instead. hope i'll like it!
