My understanding of 'broadcloth' is a wide width woven fabric,
originally wool. Not sure what the American definition is. The width
of the fabric on the roll doesn't really matter so long as the piece
you use is big enough for the purpose.
What does matter is that the fabric is a close, plain weave cotton. A
bit heavier than sheeting or American 'muslin'. It needs to be strong
so that you can pull it really tight and don't use a poly-cotton as the
synthetic content will cause your pins to blunt. A plain dark colour
such as navy or bottle green is usually considered most restful to the
eyes and you don't need a patterend fabric which will distract you.

use a heavy broadcloth and not velveteen for the pillow and roller. Is
broadcloth the best to use? What does everyone have on their pillows?
