    We had a speaker at our Guild who said to use 100% cotton batiste so the quilt wouldn't be so heavy; however it's hard to find. I've been using the lightest, thinnest muslin I can find.

    Watch out for using dryer sheets. Many people are allergic to them, "unscented" included.

    I was using old thin sheets. I was strip piecing on the diagonal with straight grained fabric. The block distorted. So, I've started using old telephone book pages along with the old sheets.
