    What's especially nice about this is that Moda listened to their customers. Quilters said they preferred the thicker cloth, and Moda wisely is giving us what we want!

    I have just recently seen the finer (75x75) Moda fabrics, they were very soft and nice. I don't know which I prefer, I wonder which will last longer? I guess the main problem I would have with them, would be mixing them with all the other quilt fabrics that I already have, because there is a distinct difference.

    To be honest - personally I am not so happy about that decision, although I understand and respect it. I prefer the finer cottons with a 75x75 thread count because they are perfect for hand quilting! But I also know that I am in the minority and what I do is not what most quilters do.

    what lines were printed on the 75 x 75? I haven't bought fabric in a while and haven't been in a shop for a while either. Thanks for the update!

    I would like to know the answer to this also. Good to hear that they are
    going back to the heavier weight. :thumbup:

    The brands I know on the 75x75 thread count are Quilt Gate and some of the P&B fabrics.
