I prefer something other than a white/natural backing, but I'll be making a king-sized quilt that needs 120" backing ... and all I can find in that size is muslin. I never thought about dying the muslin, so I'm interested in how it works for you. Good luck!Kathy ... aka Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626590048036292030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481577725397935350.post-70576777240422848452014-10-25T15:53:32.250-04:002014-10-25T15:53:32.250-04:00I can't wait to see how your adventure turns o...I can't wait to see how your adventure turns out.

It dyes bamboo amazingly well. I have also used it for some cotton items and it worked well for that also.

Are you worried at all about bleeding and fading? <br />Back before reproduction fabrics were readily available in my area I volunteered as an historical re-enactor at a local heritage center. I made period correct clothing for my family to wear, and several times I had to overdye the fabric to get it to a more historically correct shade. I know this clothing saw a lot of wear and tear and washing, but the dyes faded dramatically within the first few years of use. That has made me a bit leery of using dye anymore. What have you learned from others whop have used it? I'm curious if it is more durable now.Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.com
