Sheets that are 200 count are fairly thick. I would think that 220 count fabric would be also, but I don't know for sure.

I bought 200 thread count muslin to use as a quilt back and it was very difficult to hand quilt through. If you're a machine quilter it would be great as it had a very nice finish. hope this helps. Kristi

I bought some beautiful white on white stripe sheets and pillow cases in Denver a year or so ago - and he thread count was 400. They are beautiful, but you must pull hem out of dryer before it stops...they wrinkle really bad. Believe it was Egyptian cotton.
