I really want to get batik for this new project (specifically a watercolor batik or something similar), but (like with many things) I never worked with batik before. I don't want to find myself pre-washing a beautiful red batik and then end up with a white or pink piece of fabric. And I really don't want to go for a close substitute to batik unless I really have to...I'm not going to let fear stand in the way of me and a beautiful fabric for this quilt. So how should I handle a batik fabric (epessily a red one...I hear any fabric with red dye can be a troublesome)?
