I get muslin at Joanns There are many kinds. I get the one that has been pre shrunk and wrinkle free, or almost. You also can get it bleached. :D

I don't like to mess with light-weight muslin, life is too short! I buy Moda from Hancocks/Paducah by the bolt, white and natural. It is beautiful stuff.

If you'd kept quiet about it, we'd have thought that's the way you meant to do it. :-)

I recently found Kona muslin and I'll never go back to the other kind. This stuff is the real deal.

Bellaboo, where did you buy it?

A fabric shop in my town has it. All the shop carries is Kona and Blank fabrics for quilters, the rest of the fabric is for clothing. Here is a link to what it is.

Never thought to use it for backing but then I am new to all this wuilt stuff. Right now it is going to be use for the test sample for the windows panel. I am using the muslin in the center as I di not want to use my good quilt pattern fabric till I knew my idea would work.

BY the way what would be like muslin but in color? I am thinking if I back this quilt I want it in a light blue or black. Since it is mostly jean material I do not want something heavy muslin would be great but I am not going to dye that much fabric. :shock: So something like that in color would be good.

Thanks

Apparently not all "muslin" is created equal?

Good muslin should fee like good quilt fabric. I won't touch the stiff thin harsh crinkly muslin. I found most muslin labeled Premium is good quality. In muslin you get what you pay for so buy it on sale. When WalMart sold out the fabric dept here, I bought two bolts of the Premium muslin at 50% off. Usually muslin is sold side by side so it's easy to see the difference.
