I get my batiks from JoAnn's because I don't use a whole lot of it. Some of it is kinda scratchy - some is really nice. Also, the tonals at JoAnn's are nice - I am speaking in fat quarters here.
The fat quarters are generally mill ends and they cut to a fat quarter size and fold them and put the strip of paper around them and sell them. You have to feel the fabric and some how or another look through it! If you can see through it, forget it! If it feels like a baby's be-hind buy it! Edie
