Tim, that would certainly make it easier. I have some muslin in my stash, but it seems to thin to me. I need to find some kona.

they have it at JoAnns here. I used my 40% coupon.

I will second what Tim said....

I usually read everything. I did not know their was so much difference in muslins. I haven't bought much though. May order some online, now. I think I would like the wider ones, too. this is a good thread...lol.
Skeat!
Started reading, and sounded a bit like me, sometimes! :wink:
Let us know, what you decide, and how it works for ya. :D

Fancy having so many to choose from that you all seem to be in a bit of a dilemma! Perhaps living in a quit desert is easier after all. My LQS only stocks one muslin (called Calico here). You either buy that one, you shop online, or you do without. On the sheet thread, I wouldn't be without my 350 thread count sheets bought from QVC - absolute bliss!

I usually order the 200 count muslin from Joann on-line...I buy it by the bolt...If I am in the store I get the Kona muslin...both are very nice...

I buy the super muslin. You can not see your hand through it. It is very durable. It works great for applique using my machine to stitch it on. I am not so sure how it works with hand stitching. I don't applique by hand. I buy it at Walmart for 1.97 a yard.

Skeat, this is exactly why I don't use muslin...too confusing. Some of the quilts that I've seen done on muslin appeared stretched to me. I guess there is a problem with it holding its shape? I don't know. This is a great thread though, thanks for asking about it. :lol:

I was doing the same thing!! I went to Joanns and stood looking at the muslin dumbfounded!

I started to feel them, and the one that I finally chose is the Kona. It just feels good. I haven't used it yet, but the weight and feel seems pretty good.

I only use muslin on wallhanging & table runners. But when I buy it I'll get Kona. I don't really care for the thinner muslin. A lot of the time there are pin holes in it.
