- Try

 - boring - no pictures - but definitely useful stuff!      Note - You still sometimes find solids that bleed - so I recommend pre-washing (try Retayne) or at least testing.     Back to Fabric Page

Solid Black
You'd think one black would do - but not so.... there are browny blacks, and purply blacks, and some are darker than others.... and then there's the weave and the texture..... so if you want your blacks to match - make sure you buy enough.... and try to keep track of which brand it was.....

Need some dye to go with this?

Osnaberg Osnaberg is a coarsely woven 100% cotton.... you could actually do counted thread cross stitch on it. It blooms really well when used in making faux chenille. I like it instead of batting for summer ragtimes - just cut it the same size as your outer pieces and let it fray. I stock it in black and white but might be coaxed into other colours if the demand is there.....
#FOSw - white - $7.75 Cdn./yd

#FOSb - black - $8.25 Cdn./yd
Polyspun sheeting The easiest way to describe this is kind of like light weight dryer sheets without the scent. 30" wide - this is great for making pattern pieces that you want to keep and re-use because it won't tear. You can baste it and fit it like muslin. It works for foundation piecing because it doesn't stretch (but you can't iron it directly- it gets crispy!) - I love it for crazy quilt and string quilt things because I usually just finger press those anyway.....  #PSS - $1yd
Pre-Quilted Muslin 44" wide poly batting sandwiched between natural muslin. I use this to make really quick shadow chenille..... Its a lot easier to do faux chenille when you start with a good base...  #FPQM - $13.75 Cdn./yd
