I use an old tea towel that I keep especially for that purpose. Rinse tea towel in hot water before you use. After use I run it through napisan and then wash in a hot wash.

If you are talking about making jam into jelly use a mutton cloth,washed first.

Plain cotton muslin cloth, mutton cloth, old cotton teatowels and pillow cases (you can boil all of these to sterilise them) are all useful as long as there are no bigger holes and tears than the thinning weave of the fabric. If push comes to shove, even paper towel is possible (I've tried this and it works for small quantities). I use a purchased jelly bag now but years ago, I used the butter muslin cloth left over from when I made face cloths for my first baby.

I used a tea towel pre boiled it a day before and dried it. I put a double layer of the tea towel into a colander over a pot left over night. It's turn out so nice and clear, but have posted another question. As some set and some didn't set as well :(
