Curious about batiks lasting as long as regular quilting cotton fabric
I've been reading the thread about batiks in the 'In Search Of' forum. I curious about what I've been reading about the batiks not wearing/lasting as long as regular quilting cotton. I'm wondering how much they have changed since the 2005, as ibex94 posted that they didn't make it through the hurricane flood waters but the regular cotton did.
I also wondering if some of the 'newer' batiks are more of quilter cotton with the batiks color designs or if they are the old actual batiks fabric that has changed for the better. Some of the batiks I have are so thin and flimsy while others with batiks in their pre-cut package label are a heavier fabric like the regular quilter's cotton.
