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.

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.

I too got excited , but then saw the 1/2 yard .

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.

Check out www.connectingthreads.com Their batik prices for a yard are great!!

Their strip sets are 20 strips each

I'd say that is a very good half yard price.

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

Their prices for precuts are also great, and reg fabric is great.

FABULOUS pricing. I registered with them. their pricing for their 2 1/2" strips is phenomenal. You can't buy them at that price anywhere AND free shipping. I'm going to visit them often.

20 different fabrics -- 2 of each = 40 pieces. I cut my own, so this is still pricey to me, but compared to Moda prices, they are cheap.
The yardage is not that much less than what I can get locally, but the cuts are less.

Thank you for sharing, I love batiks and I think these prices are great, even for 1/2 yard cuts!
