White-on-white fabric
I consider it a white fabric with an imprinted design that is in a subtlely
different shade of white. The fabric reads pretty much solid white -- but when you look closely -- or it catches the light you can see the design. -- Kate in MI http://community.webshots.com/user/K_Groves "Edna Pearl" wrote in message ... What is white-on-white fabric? TIA ep |

What is white-on-white fabric? Pretty, very pretty :-) It is fabric that has a white pattern embossed onto a white base fabric. Hard to explain. The url below is from one of the shops on quiltshops.com I narrowed my search to Fairy Frost just because I love it but there were about 30,000 for "white on white"! http://tinyurl.com/yjfev5z I hope that helps.

White-on-white fabric
Be very persnickety about choosing a WOW. Many years ago I made a quilt top
of precious little hummingbirds. Paperpieced and those guys' little beaks were a challenge. Anyhow. The white-on-white defied machine quilting. Now that I'm older and more ruthless, a size 100 jeans needle might have done it but that fabric was such a beast I gave the quilt to Yogi. He likes it fine. I suspect the recipe for making the white design on that white fabric had too much cement in it. Polly "Allison" wrote in message news Edna Pearl wrote: What is white-on-white fabric?

That has not been my experience at all and I've used many different WOW's for tops and many other tone-on-tone (same concept - different colors) for tops and/or backs with no difficulties whatsoever. I love WOW or TOT much more than actual solids for those areas that I want the quilt to 'read' solid. Kim in beautiful, sunny, warm NJ |

White-on-white fabric
I was reading one of Diane Gaudynski's book, and she mentioned it as being
difficult to MQ, especially as a backing, because it drags. So I figured we were probably talking about some kind of textured surface. Thanks everybody. ep "Polly Esther" wrote in message ...

I bought some once that was darn near impossible to handquilt. I can usually handquilt pretty decently, but this one I sure didn't. Talk about some toe-catching stitches. The pattern had little birds and leaves on it. The "tone" in the "tone on tone" almost seemed like a rubbery substance. Sherry |

Kim in beautiful, sunny, warm NJ I really like the look of the WOW also. I saw some new ones at LQS that were block alphabet letters, and one that was cursive alphabet letters. I';d love to use them. Very subtle. Sherry |

Some of them leave a dark grey/ black mark in the needle hole. I know this from experience since I took a w-o-w fabric to use in one of her classes. I was the example of what NOT to do! Everybody has a purpose, huh? |
