Thin Material, do I dare to use?

I am not a fabric snob, but I recently tossed some fabric that just felt to flimsy to hold up. If I put the effort into the project, I want it to last. Can't really comment on interfacing. If you question it, then I'd say go with your instincts.

I just got rid of all my fabric that was either too thin or ugly to use. I decided to send it over to made into charity quilts.
I hesitate on using thin, now I just put it aside and get rid of it. It feels so good. Part of my D-junking my closets. If I have a lot, I will make charity quilts out of thinner fabrics.

I put all my questionable fabrics into crocheted items or the clothesline baskets. If you really want to include the fabric in some way, use a piece of it for an applique or a label. Both are applied to the surface of the quilt and can be removed later if they deteriorate...and they will.
