    Double gauze as quilt backing

    I ordered some on Etsy to make a summer dress and it is so soft. I know it is used for baby swaddling blankets, but was wondering about backing. I searched about it and there are lots of comments about how wonderful it is to sew with.

    So have you ever used it for quilt backing, problems, tips?

    I would say it's like homespuns. I would think it could be fine. If it's washed a lot I would be afraid it would get tears or holes since it's woven so loose. I made a very loved quilt and it has homespuns in it and i have two squares that need repaired or appliques over.

      I’m not sure about using it for backing unless it’s for a quilt that can be pampered. I don’t think I would risk it, Lorie. Surely others will weigh in on this.

        I would say no as I do not think it would wear well for a quilt.

          I was hoping to hear it would be okay for a crib size baby quilt. I'm trying to find an alternative to minky. I don't trust buying flannel on line, unless you girls have a proven brand to look at.😃
