Its probably intended for a curtain lining, which would help keep cold air out, and cool air i. Should not be a problem at all. Great find

I think your idea to use for table toppers would be good. Also, for place mats or any other item where a waterproof backing would be good. How about a shower curtain quilt?

I think this would be ideal to use in the main part of a place mat or table topper or maybe potholders too as it is stain resistant. I don't know that I would use it in a baby quilt, but probably would in any other adult quilt, especially since it is pretty.

I was wondering why it's cotton yet says you're to use a cool iron on it? I don't think I'd use it for a baby quilt either, but it has lots of other uses and I'd say you still got a great bargain. I'd use it as backing for the window valances that I really need to make and have been putting off for WAY too long, lol...

Prior to quilting taking over my life, I made custom draperies and bed spreads. I would not recommend the drapery lining for a quilt since it does have special chemicals in it to make it no stain. Even washing it does not remove this. My drapery workrooms have a problem with the different chemicals used in the drapery fabrics and linings and some actually wear surgical masks when they are working with the fabric.

Great idea!

Update!! I talked to someone and they said not to use on a baby quilt..They the chemicals would be hard to wash out...Guess I will save it for something else...

when drapery lining has insulated backing it means that the sun won't deteriorate it as fast as regular fabric and that it keeps cold air that sneaks in around the windows from coming into your room. The fabric holds the cold air in the space of the drapery covering. Does this make sence? I used to make draperys.

oh I don't see why not! I actually need to make some curtains for the downstairs, so I'll have to see if my WM carries it. It's a little drafty down in one room.

Great find - thanks for sharing!

Go ahead & use it.Remember back in the day, our Grmas used sheets,blankets, newspaper etc.....I've had Ron Loc drapes & they lasted forever, washed great & looked like regular fabric. BTW....great buy!
