Pillow Ticking

[Robert58]

I went to Wal-Mart today looking for #40 Drill Cloth, but they didn't know anything about it. So I bought some natural color pillow ticking. It looked like the same weave as the red and blue striped. It mikes about the same as my blue stripe, .018/.019. Anyone else tried the natural color.

I bought some of the natural color pillow ticking at a Hancock Fabric Store several years back. I saw no difference between it and the blue striped pillow ticking. Be sure and wash and dry it first, of course, to remove the dad-blamed sizing in it.

I just bought the last of the heavy pillow ticking at JoAnns Fabrics. The heavy ticking is being discontinued. They will continue to carry the lighter ticking. I don't know if this is just a regional decision.

Thanks for the replies. I think that what I bought at Wal-Mart is the same thickness as the Blue and White that I have been useing.
