My only problem is I have trouble determining which is the right side. Any advice?
One reason I like batiks is that there is no discernible right and wrong side on most of them. Another reason I like them is that they are very dense, yet have just that little bit of stretch that makes them really easy to work with. I tend to pick the tone on tone ones rather than the multicolor, but do have plenty of those too, because they work really well to blend from one to another.
