My bit of retail shop experience (not a chain store): Wide goods 106 - 118" $10.98 - 13.98/yd. I don't know actual thread counts.
P&B Textiles - 108" some of it feels pretty good, some feels like it probably has an
additional finish. It is not as high a thread count as their 45" $5.98/yd in the same
line - Color Spectrum.
RJR makes some pretty nice wide goods in tonals. I don't know if their solid
color is as good a quality.
Robert Kaufman - 118" cotton poplin - nice
Fabri-Quilt - 108" muslin - not bad - & - 118" cotton sateen - pretty nice
Given a choice from what I am familiar with, I would go with the cotton sateen or the cotton poplin.

I did some looking around at the local quilting shops and found a few
companies that make muslin. I was wondering if anybody had preferences
for any of these....
Roclon (only seen at regular fabric stores, not quilting stores)
Moda muslin
P & B textiles muslin
Home on the Range muslin
I think all of these companies make muslin in at leat 90" width and some
of them have 108" width. Can anybody comment on the quality and/or price
of these? If you can speak to the quality of any of these, please let me
know also.
Thanks!
