I'm curious if anyone here has used cotton sateen purchased from Dharma Trading Company? If so, what were your thoughts?

I'm working on a quilt that I'm thinking about hand dyeing the fabrics for. I considered buying Kona solids, but I'd like the sheen of cotton sateen and I enjoy the look of the subtle variation with hand dyed fabric. My only concern is really the quality of the fabric. Some of the reviews have mentioned that it can be thin and have imperfections. I'll need backing fabric with large sections that I won't want imperfections in.

Any thoughts or experiences are welcomed. Thanks!

Ps. If you've dyed any cotton sateen - I would love to see your photos and hear about your experience!
