Can someone explain the difference to me between batik and kona fabrics? Are they different fiber weaves? I don’t think they’re brand names...
They seem popular but I’m not entirely sure why. (I hope I didn’t offend anyone.) Keeping in mind I haven’t been quilting all that long, I went to a local fabric shop and spent an arm and a leg on either batik or kona fabrics and didn’t like them and wouldn’t buy them again. The problem is, I can’t remember which one I bought.
I like a crisp look when it’s pressed but didn’t get that from the fabric. Directly after the pressing it looked fine but as the fabric cooled, it took on a little frumpy look but that might be that perfectionist tendency in me, too. It looks terrific in the store but not so much after washing.
This particular fabric shop has about 10,000 bolts of this stuff so it must be me.
