I am not sure what it is called but, at Joann's they have foundation that is great. They sell it by the interfacing. It is a non woven material that has little if no stretch. It will stay soft when washed. You can check out your LQS. They have something similar, maybe a different name to it.

I generally use inexpensive ($1 a yard at Joanne's) muslin or, if I have some on hand a light- medium weight interfacing. but, mostly muslin. (or any 'yukky' thin fabric I've found that I would not use for piecing- as long as it's not too dark so it will show through)

There are a variety of foundation materials but just look for something light. Some use used dryer sheets, thin muslin and I think Ricky Tim's has a new product that all but disappears when the quilt is washed. If you can find an all cotton bed skirt at the charity shop in a light colour, you can use that. Some bed skirts have a really light weight fabric that goes between the mattresses that can be used too.
