Caloco vrs Cotton
#1
Hello, I wondered if some kind sole could tell me about Calico. Is it ok to use as part of a quilt, is it ok for backing and how does it feel different to cotton, can it be quilted ok by hand or is it quite stiff ?
Many thanks
Katherine

You can use Calico in your quilt, there are different grades some is really rough the type I prefer is lovely & soft. You could use it if you were thinking of including some red work into your quilt. I'm in the middle of making a quilt for my MIL & am thinking of incorporating some soft calico then embroider or appliqued a design onto it.
Good luck what ever you decide to do.
