I hand quilt too but don't have any trouble with batiks, even when using a batik also for the backing. Of course, after hand quilting a queen size quilt made of home decor fabric I guess batiks are no problem! Yep, a lady wanted a queen quilt & purchased 80% decor fabric fr it, now THAT was hard to hand quilt!!!
