I use them occasionally, but I don't care for the tone on tone whites. I would like to get some of the Kona white. I've enjoyed using the black.

Where do I find the Kona Snow, Online or in a store?

Kona is available at JoAnn's, Hancock's and most LQSs but not all Kona is made by the same manufacturer. I prefer Kona that is made by Robert Kaufman which is usually what the LQS will have. If ordering online, Google Kona Cotton to find lots of information and web sites.

I buy muslin at least 10 yds at a time, only on sale, and white tone on tone at least 5 yds at a time, and try to get the same pattern on the tone on tone.:)

I have 25 yards of white on a bolt. I got it at a really good price...$1.19 a yard.

Like others, I keep a good amount of whites and creams in my stash, however I don't always like the look of pure solid white, so I usually purchase tone-on-tones. They cover a multitude of sins, where a solid is less forgiving. if I find a good sale I'll buy 5-6 yards.

I really like this board lots of help and great people.

I have white on white, and some plain white Kona for labels.
