What is the difference between cambric and muslin?
1253664
I guess that depends on what you mean by cambric. I've never heard the term in use by sewers in the US, but to judge from the Wikipedia entry, cambric is a fine cloth, suitable for garments, while muslin is the general term here used for fabric intended for making or draping samples and test garments, and not intended to be pre-washed; i.e., it's throw-away stuff, not for wearing. There's a common issue with UK English, in which the term "calico" is apparently what US sewers/merchants call muslin...but I've never heard "cambric" outside of folk songs:). This particular muslin (assuming it's the still the same as the stuff I bought from this page recently) is a little heavier/stiffer, or more heavily sized, than usual muslins, but otherwise the same: off-white, coarse weave, not for wearing or washing. The sizing can build up on your iron if you press this heavily while damp. HTH!

This is the product that was recommended to me. I am not sure what the difference between the 2.

Yes, this is the traditional use for muslin or cotton bags in French cooking. Wonderful product.

There is a difference in quality in both MF cloths. the CG one has got a short nap on one side and a long one on the other. Also the CG one is softer and will not scratch the paint and hence a better one in my opinion for exterior paint. For cleaning interiors or other tough surfaces it might be a good idea to use less expensive ones but for paint these do the job well.

Is this not a redundant question that answers itself. The Muslin's are made out of Muslin material :)

Satin is a synthetic material, very "slippery". Silk, as a natural fabric has a completely different feel. Our 100% Mulberry Silk is Charmeuse weave. While this produces a similar luster as satin, the softness of silk is unparalleled. This is the same type of silk used to make most silk blouses.Hope this helps!Fishers Finery Customer Service

No, the muslin are actually designed to hang from the back drop pole. The pole goes through the top of the Muslin and that's how it hangs.

Not true white! Years ago it was call almond which is now called linen. A little lighter than almond, not as dark as bone.

No, muslin does not roll up nicely. So I have switched to 10" paper roles and it I like it better

The polyester is a little lighter in weight is the only difference I see. To me my polyester cloths clean up better than the wedding linens so I won't pay the difference in cost.

It would appear to be there is no difference. Both look like the one I own. The blanket is of the best grade and quality I have ever seen, well worth the cost. It is 100% Wool, and 100% Quality. Will Keep you warm better than any blanket you own. Thanks.

I've used mine with both a large muslin background, and also a large roll of paper background (aprox. 8'x10'). The paper weighs at least 10# and there has never been any sag or other stress on use system. For ordinary studio applications this is a good and stable product.

Yes, the muslin I have is all white and there is no border. The material is pretty sturdy and should last a long time. I am pleased with the purchase.

They came wrapped in a plastic bag with a snap closure. I usually purchase the 4 packs so I can take one out and give it away to new mommies and then I'm still able to give other gifts instead of just blankets. Not sure what you're asking about as far as being different from classic types? Do you mean classic flannel receiving blankets? If so, these are much larger and better for swaddling. Also, as the name implies, these are made from muslin, a much lighter fabric.

Refer to this Laticrete Converstions Blog from 2010. The differences are subtle, but clearly explained. http://laticrete.blogspot.ca/2010_05_01_archive.html

To quote Wikipedia: "Textiles in a linen weave texture, even when made of cotton, hemp and other non-flax fibers, are also loosely referred to as "linen"." It is used in this generic sense when referring to these tablecloths since there is no trace of natural fiber in them ;-)
