Vicki, I've had pretty good luck printing on fabric so maybe my 2-cent's worth will be of help! You can probably tell that batiks have a different "feel" to them because of the way they're made. I give 'em a really good warm water washing to get rid of any extra resist on the material and to pre-shrink. I iron the batik to freezer paper, then cut the freezer paper into sheets that'll go through my printer. Once the design's printed on the batik, I remove the freezer paper and give the fabric a bath in a setting agent. Retayne from G & K Industries has worked well, but I imagine any product that stops dye bleeding and sets the color would work. I'd wash the quilt in cool water forever after, just to be absolutely sure. Those color-set laundry treatment products might help, too. Good luck with your project!
