Muslin Bags

Engine No.9

Thinking about getting back into a bit of home brew and am devilishly tempted to go all grain. First few times tho, I think I'd prefer the BIAB method. I've seen these muslin bags http://www.homebrewwest.ie/muslin-bags-2s-175-p.asp, but haven't a clue as to whether they'd hold enough grain to make a 25 ltr batch.

Does anybody have any experience with BIAB, and if so would these be good enough? If not, what would you suggest?

the homebrew shops all sell bags designed for BIAB made from nylon mesh - Muslin wouldn't be strong enough. e.g. https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/mashing-and-sparging-bag-fits-peco-boiler-p-2619.html
