I use the too thin and flimsy fabric for the bases of biscuit quilts. it works just fine, and adds very little weight to a usually pretty weighty quilt. The flimsy fabric also makes cute broomstick skirts since it likes to be wrinkled.

A). Flimsy & thin fabric makes great foundations for the Chinese Coin quilts I make for charity.
B). Velveteen, satin and brocade was used for costumes at a newly formed church’s Christmas pagent.
C). A food pantry could hand out potholders made from “not so pretty” fabric.
D). Simple tote bags for a halfway house so they have a decent bag to leave with.

I try to avoid polyester, nylon, etc. it potholders. I prefer cotton and/or wool.

These are some good ideas!
