    great Batik fabric prices

    I am planning my first order here...anyone shopped at BaliBatiks before? The fabrics look great, prices are excellent and shipping is free. They also have backing for $9.99. They have great variations in color of the solids that would be perfect for a french braid or bargello quilt.

    The batiks are beautiful! Be careful, the prices are for 1/2 yard.

    I noticed that. I have seen a lot of fabric shops online who charge in half yard increments.

    Just checked thier collection looks fantastic, the prints look good, quite interested in the 108" backing fabric very useful, 205 thread count

    I wondered if the weight is suitable for other uses. Will try and get a sample.

    Do they offer a sample service..? can’t seem to see the option on their website.

    Yes, I am aware it's 1/2 yd pricing...many places are doing that now. Around here, batiks are in the $12-14/yd range, so $4.25 half yd is pretty good. The best prices are on the pre-cuts. The 40 pc strip sets are only $21.99 which is less than 1/2 the price locally.
