They have tons of choices and shipping is very fast. Their batiks hold their shape and color after many washings. Downside: I've never seen a coupon for T of Bolts but the prices are, like you said, pretty much the same. Quality is not the same IMHO.
I agree with Jan!!!! CT batiks just don't compare to quality, named brands of batiks that you can get at the LQS or Thousands of Bolts. If they're the same price, it's a no brainer;>
