Has anyone used sheets for backing. I am considering buying flat sheets in the bulk to have on hand for quilt backs. Don't want anything that would pill or stretch. Don't know exactly which fiber would be best.

I use sheets all of the time. I prefer all cotton but often have to use polycotton or flannel. I will not use microfibre as I hate the feel of it. I haven't tried bamboo. I have never had a problem with sheets stretching or pilling. There are all sorts of myths about using sheets but I haven't had any problems using them. My APQS Lenni doesn't care what backing that I use, sheets don't wear out sooner than tops and cotton sheets are not an inferior backing in my opinion.
