I don't know about Ricky, but I bought a 30 yard bolt of 58" wide Pimatex cotton, 133 X 72 thread count from Dharma Trading Co. (NAYYY), and am very happy with it. It has the "silky" feel of the Bali batiks. It takes dye really well.

Hi everyone, I'd like to get opinions on the type of fabric you use to dye.
I've used muslin and like the 'hand' of it and it hand quilts nicely. I've also heard lots of people say they use Kona cotton. To me, it's much thicker than the muslin and I'm not sure I'd want to hand quilt it. BTW, I use
Procion MX fiber reactive dyes.

Ricky, you do such beautiful work, what's your choice?

Thanks all for your answers.

Have a great day. quiltnlady (Sharon in TN)
