Well, I do not know why but their batiks do NOT have a good hand, if you know what I mean. I haven't appliqued with them. Guess I could if I use lots of starch to prevent raveling. Usually batiks don't ravel or fray, the reason I use them in applique.

I have a fabric thread counter. CT fabric is right up there with Moda and many others. I take the thread counter to most all fabric shops. Some quilt shops won't let me check the thread count and that is when I suspect the fabric isn't quilt shop quality for quilt shop price.
