I have frequently used sheets-no problems.

I've used them too. Especially when I was starting to quilt and didn't have a lot of $ to invest in fabric. Now, I like the fact that it's a full piece of fabric and looks cool with all the stitching on it.

I purchase and use ONLY used flat sheets on the backs of my quilts. They are all donated to charities and I have found them to be serviceable.

I have a few sheets that I have considered cutting to use for quilt blocks. They are soild colors and firmly woven. I do not think there would be a problem for me to quilt them as I use a quilting machine on a frame.

I have also considered using one of these for my leader clothes. I used some heavy muslin when I first got my frame, but the edges take a beating from all the pinning. Now I want to make new leaders and the stronger sheeting appears to be a good choice.

A sheet (or 2) would make a wonderful Whole Cloth quilt. Think how easy that would be. Load sheet, batting and another sheet and start quilting.

I buy my sheets in Thrift stores where I rarely pay more than $3. for the King size flat. Goodwill's prices have gotten too high. But it saves a lot of money on fabrics and time on piecing the back. In my quilting, time and money are both important.

I was given a bunch of sheets once by a hotel...They were going to throw them out...yes, I cut them up and used them in my quilts...I machine quilt with a walking foot and had no problem...

I did once many years ago. It was tough to work with. Frayed easily and hard to quilt through.

MIght have been a polyesther blend. The fraying suggests so, anyway. Have never thought about what quilting through polyesther would be like. Might be a good thing to remember though.
