I hate to spend the money for batik for the backing...however, I do want it to look nice and not take away from the quilt.
Your thoughts? Thanks!
While you CAN use anything on the back, I prefer to use Batik........I have found it is not that much more than the good extra wide regular quilting cotton........Check out WEBFABRICS on facebook....she carries a large selection of Batik extra wide backing.....and I have not had any problems quilting with batik on the top and the bottom...
