Is quilting with broadcloth always a no no??
#31
I have even used the 'less expensive' poly broadcloth in a kids quilt because I had a time crunch and there was no navy cotton broadcloth at my local store. I ended up ironing the stuff with a moderately hot iron first and then doubled the fabric because it was significantly thinner than the other fabric. It worked out fine and has worn like iron. Remember--no quilt police!

I've used cotton broadcloth many times with stunning results and although it's a bit stiffer than regular quilter's cotton, it'll hold up to a lot of wear. I figure once I've quilted it and washed it a few times, no one will care that it's different. They'll just think the color is incredible!

I sewed garments since I was 12 and used a lot of what we called broadcloth. It was always a blend with some poly in the mix. Since quilting, I have looked for cotton broadcloth. Would the Moda and Kona cottons in solid colors be considered "broadcloth" ?
