JoAnn's also has a 200 thread count muslin that I have used
with no problem...I made a picture quilt with it ....have used
it for Raggedy Ann dolls and used for back of quilt....
Have also used it in tops of quilt....If they don't have it
ask them if they can order it.....I used to live 2 miles from
their main store in Hudson, Ohio...they have it there.
If they tell you they need the number before they can order
you can call the store in Hudson and get the number for it.

I have used muslin for backing and the background of my Cathedral Windows quilt (the best muslin I could find). Some is horrible - thin and feels like sandpaper. Now if I need solid white or cream I use Kona solids. For backings I use the 108" wide fabric. Most of my quilts are on the large side.

I saw some muslim the other day at one of our local shops and I fell in love with it. It was much heavier and nice feel than any I've ever seen at Jo Anns or other stores. I wouldn't hesitate at all to use this muslim in my quilts.
