Same here, I have a couple of good quality muslin. I have gotten good muslin at estate sales.
I have three stamped whole cloths...not done by me...rescued at various estate sales....and they are beautiful and the "muslin" is of the finest quality......good muslin is great to work with....I use it on a lot of my bed quits......and also in piecing.....when washed it is as soft as marshmallow.....

ok, I've been won over.
I had no idea there were muslins that were the same quality as quilter's cotton. Ironically, I was at the LQS the other day & picked out a beautiful mottled fabric only to then notice it was dyed muslin. It wasn't rough at all, like I had expected.
My days of picturing muslin as the functional but unattractive mess that I used to pick up from JAF to practice dressmaking are over. I am excited to give the Benertex stamped muslin a try & have decided that I will quilt it by hand. I found that Christian Lane will even baste it for me for a reasonable fee so I can just get started straight off with the hand quilting. Yea! How surprised will my brother & SIL be when they see it?!!!
