AK TRADING CO. Muslin Fabric/Textile Bleached - Draping Fabric - Bleached White 10 Yards Medium Weight - 100% Cotton (60in. Wide)

I had low expectations when I bought this. My husband just bought me a longarm so I need fabric to practice on. I was surprised by the heft of this fabric; it’s closer to a duck cloth than a draping muslin which is perfect for my use. I haven’t laundered it so maybe it would drape better once laundered but I like it just as is. I intend to buy another bolt.

Exactly as expected. Good quality. This is now my go-to for muslin.I'm making bags and zippered pouches by the dozen, over and over (and over) again and use the muslin for lining and QAYG base. I need something that is consistently of good quality, easy to dye, affordable and accessible. This muslin fits the bill.It does arrive folded, not on a bolt. Clear a space, grab some cardboard and masking tape, and you can wrap your own bolt.

I am so impressed with this fabric! Typically when I purchase muslin at my local craft store, it’s thin and quite lightweight. This is quite a bit thicker, the weave is tighter and I’m absolutely astounded by the quality! I purchased this to make garment bags to keep dust off of seasonal clothing. I am delighted with his purchase and will absolutely be back for more when I run out.

So I used this as make shift curtains for my new home. It does it's job well as a make shift curtain (double layers). Does not smell, color is exactly like in the picture, kinda stiff (i never washed it).

I’m slightly disappointed that this didn’t come on a bolt, like some muslin I’ve seen while packing at Amazon.It’s folded multiple times, and not in a way you see it roll off a bolt at a fabric store cutting table. It’s kind of hard to unfold a ten-yard amount on my not-so-big cutting/pattern table in my small apartment, to cut out two to three yards, then struggle to get the remainder to be folded neatly enough to fit into my fabric drawer. I was considering on buying only the amount I needed for each project, but it seems it costs less buying the bulk, plus I needed this material to practice out garments before the final project, so it’ll be used a lot.The quality of the fabric, I have no complaints about though. It was a medium-weight thickness, easy to sew with, and does the job I intended it for.Something I didn’t know, this fabric is hard to iron out wrinkles after preshrinking in the wash. I even took it out before it was completely dry to steam iron.I’ve never tried it before, but I heard you can preshrink wrinkle-prone fabrics like this type and linen using a steamer instead of washing and drying? I think I’ll try that next time. See if that makes things easier.

The muslin arrives stiff. After washing, drying, and ironing it has good, full body drape. I used regular detergent to remove sizing and finishes. I posted before and after pics.

Estupendo

Totally worth it. This is a LOT of frantic. I use this for making mock-ups and it’s great to not have to worry about using it all up.
