Are you Big Brother and have you been spying on me? 😜 Please don't confuse muslin with muslim. They refer to totally different things. One is a cotton fabric and the other is a believer or one that follows the Islamic religion. Edited November 30, 2023 by Bill W 4 2 Link to comment

Site Moderator drpaladin 80,796 Posted November 30, 2023 Site Moderator Clothing designers often craft their original models in muslin first before rendering them in the intended fabric. It's both cheaper and easier to work with. 5 Link to comment
