I agree Vondae! It's all personal choices but I cannot stand batiks! Sometimes I wish I did as they come in such a wide range of shades but I feel like they often end up looking dated. And not in a good (retro/vintage) way like reproduction fabrics, more like a 90's throwback. There's no point forcing yourself to use something you don't like, there's so much else out there you can always find something good!
