I have never liked batiks UNLESS they are in the quilt - weird, I know but that's how it is - once they are in the quilt I think they are beautiful - I use them from time to time. And I say - buh-teek (pronunciation)

\bə-ˈtēk, ˈba-tik\

I ran these by my daughter who has done oodles of linguistics courses and she says that they are two entirely different pronunciations... we all win!

Buh-teak and Baa-tick

Thanks for asking that!
