The premium muslin (200 thread count) is very nice, great to work with. Minimal shrinkage and doesn't wrinkle nearly as much as the cheap muslin does. I've gotten it as little as $3.50 a yard on sale. Robert Kaufman, Legacy, Southern Belle all make a premium muslin. I use it all the time and love it. They are all similar quality, but the colors may vary a bit between them, so buy enough for one project if you want to be sure it's all the same.
