What is your favorite fabric
 
I am having a hard time finding solid color fabrics that aren't as thin a paper. Sometimes I wonder if they will even make it through one washing. So I was wondering what you buy that you can't read through.

I usually buy solids that have just a little texture for just that reason...

I am currently piecing with Kona Cotton solids. The only problem is that they do unravel more than they use to.

If you are asking about solids, I love Dream Cotton and Moda Bella Solids (which are really the same thing.)

Wow, paper?? Where do you shop?

"thin as paper" - heavyweight cardboard? onion skin? 1/2 inch thick cardboard rolls? tissue paper?

My apologies to the original poster - - - - -I was unable to resist. :p

Have you tried the line called "American Made Brand" fabrics? They look to be as nice as the Kona solids. Check with your LQS. Also available on Amazon if I recall.

Northcott is my favorite solid brand but hard to find.

The following read as solids and are heavier: Shadow Play by Maywood Studios, Plaster of Paris by Frond Designs, and Moda Grunge, and Northcott. I have been very pleased with their hand and also the shading of the solid color. Good luck at finding something that fits your needs.

I found Marshall's Dry Goods Cotton Dream is excellent quality for solids. I like it better then Moda or Kona.
