Default What is best muslin?

I have bought muslin at Joann's and was very happy with it but I can not remember which one it was. If anyone knows which is the best from there for use on a quilt back I would appreciate it. Or if you know where to get good quality muslin from another site. I buy 108". I would prefer Joann's because of the 50% off coupon.
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!

I like the Legacy and Kaufman Kona Premium muslins from Joann's. The cost a little more than the RocLon, but they don't wrinkle as much. They are great!

I usually get the Legacy white. It is a nice quality and soft to the touch. If the backing is going to be against the body I think it should be soft. I wait for a 50% coupon and buy 10 yards. Ann

They are also have a nicer feeling and I think are better quality than the RocLon.

Our Joann's only carries RocLon which is fine and sewing Essentials which I don't care for. Is the Legacy and Kaufman kept with the other muslin?

At Jo Ann's look For Roc Lon 404 or 403( one is bleached the other is unbleached) premium - pre-shrunk , perm press.. this will be on the end of the bolt. There is still a bit of shrinkage but not as much as the other Roc Lon muslins and some other brands found in chain stores. FYI Roc Lon makes many different grades/qualities of muslin. When you find one that suits you look at the end of the bolt for the number and record it somewhere. I made the mistake once! and learned a valuable lesson.

I buy Southern Bell. I have several quilts made from it where the thread and the special blocks are the only color going on besides the creamy muslin. I get mine at my LQS.
