I am now looking ALWAYS at the thrift stores for all cotton sheets. Often make in Turkey or Egypt, and they are usually soft--no pilling at all, and ...CHEAP for a lot of fabric.

I like using flat sheets that have been used & no longer needed. They're soft,look good & way cheaper than buying fabric for backings.
Have also used fitted sheets I no longer need.Cut elastic off,iron, then cut to size needed.
