I was right! It arrived today!! 1 yard of each material, 3 batiks, 3 prints that were on clearance. 10 spools 50wt 100% Egyptian cotton 1200 yards dbl mercerized satin finish - their "Essential" line of thread.

This order .... $54.18 and shipping was free.

The fabric has a LOVELY hand to it. Smooth, silky but not thin and wispy. The batiks are finer to the touch than Hoffman's, thinner, but the thread count is there - very smooth. I've got the two natural colored batiks in the wash now, will let you know how they wash up.

But check out the weird selvedge on the prints. The selvedge is wider than on most prints, normal closed weave on one end and this on the other.

Odd selvedge on one end of the prints
