    Default Anyone Know this Company?

    I got an email from this company today and they have beautiful looking batiks for good prices... I have never heard of them and wondered if any of you have bought their fabrics and can tell me if it's good quality. Thanks!

    I ordered from there last month and love the fabrics! They are nicer quality for the money than I expected. I am somewhat of a batik snob...I usually only want the big brands...but these are very nice! Service was great also, quick delivery.

    Keep in mind that these are 1/2 yard prices. Just reminding.

    Thanks... good to know! I did realize the price was $9 a yard... but even that isn't bad for good batiks.

    I ordered from them just a few weeks ago and I'm happy with the fabric. I emailed them to see if the two jelly rolls I wanted had any duplicates in them, and they responded promptly that there was just one fabric duplicated. I appreciated that information and went ahead and ordered.

    Never ordered for them before but will definitely be taking a look. Thanks for the link and my husband is just thrilled that you shared. LOL

    Just visited their web site for the first time -- how nice that they have their batiks arranged by color! Seems like many online company just lump their batiks into one category and you have to scroll through all of them, and be tempted by all of them, if you're looking for a specific color. I've added it to my "Fabric" page on Pinterest so I'll be able to find it again.

    Thanks sewbizgirl for starting this thread. I took a look and will be going back to this new-to-me website when I have more time. I usually buy batiks in half-yard cuts anyway, price is good, worth trying.
