Hmmm, I must be missing something? I dont think anyone insinuated that someone was an idiot for using sheet as backing. Sounds like a good and educational discussion to me.[/quote]
I have to agree - I found this very interesting and educational. I think it has to do with who taught you to quilt. My MIL taught me and she was the type to use what ever she could get her hands on for backing and thread. I prefer to used wide backing (fabric or sheets) because I don't like to piece my backs. Thanks for starting this topic.
