I looked at the muslin at Joanns the other day. The quality seems thinner than it used to be. I ended up buying Kona cotton instead. Better quality of fabric. I used a 50% off coupon for it. crafty_linda_b

This guy always has muslin of various grades and widths - his phone number is in his listings and he is really terrific about service. Call him and ask him what he has by the bolt. :)

Some stock items are available when you ask but aren't put in catalogs. Just ask your dealer.

thanks ladies, I bought this about 7 months ago and I sure I'll never find that quality and price again. I didn't think about kona cotton. I looked at Hancock's and it was too thin. I like this because of the width and quality.
I like to put it on the backs of some of my quilts.

I love the way the stitching shows up on muslin.
