What type of fabric do you prefer for your quilting and fabric art, I asked my readers.
The choices were:
*Polyester/cotton blend
*100% cotton
*Silk, satin, brocades, metallics, etc.
*A combination of fabrics
Apparently quilters and fabric artists still generally prefer 100% cotton as they did during the fabric debate throughout the Bicentennial Years (1975-76+) when I became involved in quiltmaking as a business. Seventy percent of my readers voted for the 100% cotton.
Thirty percent opted for a combination of fabrics, while no one voted for polyester/cotton blend or the silk, satin, brocades, and metallics.
If you’re uncertain which fabrics to use for particular projects, you may want to search out advice from some of the experts. This is just one of the books available.
