This is too funny. I thought I was goofy or something because I had never seen a subject on this. I had left over blocks from the quilt I made for my bed, thought I wanted something to cover the dresser too. So I made it out of the leftover blocks. Now I find this here. I am ok, I am ok, I am ok. lol...

I use poly/cotton also.

This will probably sound crazy, but I'm a country "girl" !?! with country tastes. I love making many things with denim! Not only my jeans, but coasters, outdoor cushions, and end table cloths in my living room. Embroidery on denim is quite striking and you can always put a piece of denim on the bottom and then something sheer on top for bedroom.
Still crazy in Ohio!

I was thinking Linen but that would have to be ironed

I have done this with machine emb. Make sure the emb. design you are choosing has enough fill for the size cloth you are using. Problems could develop with stitches "falling" though the holes.
Just MHO.

I make purficators cloths for my church to use during the masses. I use white weavers cloth which I buy from WalMart when I travel and can find a walmart that still sells fabric. I embroidery on it with my machine and this would make nice dresses scraves....it also come in a dark khaki color.

I have used the Aida with machine cross-stitch which looks really cool. You can find machine cross-stitch designs with sizes to match the thread count. But with stabilizer you shouldn't have a problem with the stitches going into the holes.

My grandmother used linen.

I would use strictly cotten. Linen or linen blends would be beautiful especially if you have pretty embroidery designs.

Muslin I especially like tea dyed for the old fashioned look
