Try Moda Muslin Mates. Very nice in quality and comes in some soft colors, shadows and designs. Nice to the feel also

I am trying to attach directions for fabric tinting. I have made several full size quilts using this technique for the blocks. One of them won judges' favorite at the county fair. The craft started in the 1920's and 1930's and some of the items made then are collector's items now. This is great to do with your kids, grandkids, Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, etc.

Since this is the first time I've tried an attachment on this site, I may have trouble! I guess I'll know when I get the e-mail.

I love muslin! I also love Aunt Grace fabric and that goes really well with the muslin. I've always wanted to do a cathedral wondow quilt and that will be muslin also. I have seen some really good quality, high thread count, bleached and unbleached.

The only problem I have with muslin is that there are so many kinds, bleached, unbleached, tea-dyed, etc. I had trouble deciding which one to use. I guess it is up to the quilter to decide, but it always made me hesitate to use any unless the pattern called for it...and then told you which one to use!

I think muslin is great if you use the better quality of it, and I should think it would work well if one could transfere paper piecing patterns to it.

I find few complaints with musln

I appreciate the heads-up about JoAnn's Kona. I was planning on using it for a couple quilt backings, and I'll be sure to wash it first! I love this site!

i use a good quality muslin and like it

I love to use unbleached muslin as background fabric when I make a quilt with reproduction fabrics. I think it looks more authentic. Also, I use bleached muslin for fabric dying. I always prewash and have had no problems with it.

This is off the subject. I am a newbie to quilting and have not used muslin. I just wonder were you get those cool animated icon's!!! :lol:

I just stumbled across mine on a german quilt guild site. I really don't know where everyone gets them or how to put them in their signature space. It wouldn't work for me so I put it in my avatar. Good luck finding one. Maybe you can google them.
