Cotton Drill fabric for patch material
Hey all...
I recently purchased a yard of "cotton drill" fabric to use as patch material. Was out and about with the Mrs. recently and decided to visit the local Jo-Ann fabric shop in search of pillow ticking. I wasn't that impressed with the pillow ticking material I looked at, it didn't seem to be as tight a weave as I wanted so I snooped around. I found the cotton drill stuff and it looked to be a lot tighter weave than the other so I bought a yard @ around $6.00.
I'm gonna wash it a couple times to get the starch out and make it more supple. Had my 1" mics on me to check materials with and the thickness of the cotton drill was a consistent at around .017-.018. Anyone out there ever used this material for patching VS pillow ticking? It's unprinted, kinda looks like Muslin but thicker.
