I love this muslin. It would be a bit easier to cut what I need if it were folded in half lengthwise and wound on a bolt as pictured in the item description. Instead it's the full width just wound in a bolt-shape and folded in half for shipping, making it cumbersome to just cut a yard or half yard because it's so wide. Other than that, the weight and quality of the fabric is good. It's not flimsy, nor is it too heavy. It's actually ideal for my purposes, which is to hand paint the fabric with my own designs. I also noticed that there is little-to-no shrinkage, which it delighted me to learn.
If I live long enough to use up this purchase, I will be buying more from this seller. It's a good deal!
This is how the muslin was folded in my box. Not a problem for me, but not on a bolt. It's a midweight muslin that's been perfect for me as I'm working on many clothing patterns! I just bought a second bolt.
Muslin varies wildly in quality, so I was fearful to order online. But this is really nice, thick fabric, and I'm glad I took a chance on it. Much thicker and more densely woven than I have been buying locally. Before washing, the finish is very smooth. Some reviewers complained that it does not come on a bolt, but that does not bother me at all.
I always prewash my fabrics before sewing. Once washed and dried, the smooth finish was gone, of course. It came out pretty wrinkled, but irons up okay. It looks more "rustic" after washing, not as smooth as it was before. There was no noticeable shrinkage. Overall, I am very pleased. Will order again. No more waiting to get fabric cut at the store!
I purchased 20 yards of this muslin and am happy with the purchase because I will be able to stop using various stashed fabrics and sheets as "muslins". Making "wearable" muslins was actually impeding my progress because I would forget what I had done to improve the fit.
While the muslin is a bit thinner than the muslin I remember, I don't think this will matter for fitting purposes. I really like have a good amount of it so I don't have to worry about running out in the middle of a designing project.
This is the correct weight and quality for draping on a form. I will definitely reorder this muslin in the future.

Description
Muslin is used to make patterns and templates for apparel, upholstery and other jobs. It is an affordable fabric that is available in a generous width to accommodate projects ... A must for Draping and Fittings
I ordered this to make muslins of a new jean pattern. It's perfect for that. It has a nice weight to it. I can see why people are using it for curtains. It's really a nice quality muslin.
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.
Very nice fabric and quick shipping. I have not used it yet, but it is excellent quality and will be perfect for helping me fit clothing patterns. I think it would also work nicely for quilt backs.
Great fabric for draping and pattern drafting. Quality muslin and a quality price especially for the width.
This fabric arrived well packed and quickly. Muslin Fabric/Textile Unbleached - Draping Fabric - Natural 10 Yards Medium Weight - 100% Cotton (63in. Wide)
It is what I would consider medium weight, so they are right on that. Great affordable muslin.
