I am going to be hand embroidering some blocks and was wondering what is the best muslin to use? I have some cream muslin but I think I want to use white. I do have some premium white muslin in my stash which I was wondering if that would work. Any suggestions or advice would be so appreciated.

Your premium white (bleached) muslin should work just fine. I use it all the time for embroidery projects. Be sure you cut your piece at least 1/3 more than you need in your frame. This will help with any stretching and shrinkage when washing.

I buy the Premium Legacy muslin both bleached and unbleached at Joann's. I use it for backing as you can get it in several widths. I will buy a whole bolt when I have a good coupon for it. A lot of my friends have seen it on my quilts and ask where I got it.
