    The fabric itself came folded in a plastic bag, not on the bolt. Received 9 yards, not 10. Not light weight muslin. More like a heavy weight. The clawing smell of urine was so intense I needed to wash the whole thing twice to get rid of the smell. The first wash through, only added vinegar to the water, which is how I normally wash new fabric to remove the preservatives before working with it. There was a layer of yellow foam around the basin on my washing machine. Had to wash it a second time, but with All Free and Clear to get rid of the foam residue and the remnants of urine smell. Very strange.....

    Ran out of my previous cotton muslin mid-project, and went online to see what options there were. Ordered this as being the best balance of price and fast shipping I could find, and was very impressed. The fabric had a much tighter weave and smoother finish than my previous stuff, but since I only use it for fitting mock-ups, I did not need it to match, but was happy that should I want to use this fabric for a more finished garment or lining, the possibility is there.

    The fabric is ACTUALLY COTTON... YEAH!!!! Minimal shrink when washed & dried. Quality seems pretty good, okay for the price point advertised. Im wincing only a little at the extra I paid due to lying listing info. Very light, fine, airy (think batiste)...but this listing is a wreck. To my purposes its doesnt have quite enough.... Body... for pattern making muslin. I like the fabric itself - actually have been looking for just this weight/weave of cotton - FOR COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PURPOSES than why I placed this order. This should work well for sheer, lightweight type curtains, shadow applique, shadow embroidery. (See photo) Delicate hand embroidery, eyelet work, gauzy feel for apparel applications without the puckering. *BUT* When I order a specified size/quantity for a specified price, that is what I expect to receive. Amazon & their vendors really need to learn & police their fabric terms, labeling/listing practices, etc.... And if you are going to sell fabric measurements matter! The width received is actually 56 (NOT within the 2 grace range to be labeled as 60) . A customer should be able to figure that theyll get at least a usable 58 across after washing from fabric listed 60 wide. The length (I triple checked) is only 9 yards (& 2 inches). The 10 yards is clearly stated all over the item listing & my order info. This is unacceptable practice. Apparently theres no simple, direct link to contact about this without creating a return. I will be spending the time & calling Amazon. I like this fabric & will use it. just want my bill adjusted to reflect the merchandise actually received!

    The fabric itself is as expected (a tad heavier weight than I thought but overall nice) but the fabric does not ship on a bolt as shown in the photo. It is not even folded in half width wise, just folded the length of the 10 yards and then folded in half. It makes it cumbersome to unwind and store which is disappointing as I store most of my fabric on bolts.

    Ive bought the unbleached muslin many times. I needed a heavier fabric. Medium Weight should have been heavier than the plain unbleached. It is lighter. Wach out for surprises. Ill use it for something else because other than being Lightweight it is fine.

    I used this fabric for draping and it was a little harder to work with. I would try to wash it before hand and see if that helps with how stiff it can get when ironed. Because of this stiffness it’s important to note the fabric was a bit harder to drape, but nothing unmanageable. It also was a bit of a struggle to block this fabric. I am a beginner so maybe it took me longer than most, but I blocked other fabric for my sample faster and easier than this muslin. Overall I would say it was great quantity and not bad quality for the price. The stiffness is the only thing that kept me from reviewing 5 stars. Again, perhaps if I would have washed it before hand it would have relaxed the fabric and made it easier to work with.

    Purchased to be quilt backing, and reviews online suggested this material appropriate for sewing. The material is very coarse, more like painting canvas or sailcloth. I wouldnt want this against my skin in bed. I admit the error may be mine, as this describes itself as draping cloth (I think it has to do with light filtering for camera work), with which I have no experience. It may well work perfectly for that, but I have no basis to judge. Returned product.
