Thanks Terri I have both.
Oh one more thing gee I'm thinking about stuff as we go along (should have thought through my question) SORRY, anyhow should I wash the muslin? I don't know if it shrinks more than cotton fabric.
Thanks everyone.

My mom made me blocks on white muslin. It's a family thing, she embroidered all our family on it, with birthdates (she did it for all of us, so it's not just my faulty memory :lol: ) She didn't use any stablizer but she did the embroidery by hand.
My suggestion would be to try using the used dryer sheets for stablizer, though. I'm loving using them for string quilts and I know that they are wonderful when I'm doing some hand embroidery on thinner fabrics.

Muslin comes in many qualities. My rule is if I can see through it I don't put it in a quilt. I like the muslin labeled Premium or Super. The perma press muslin doesn't seam to shrink as much as the regular.
