Batik or not to Batik that is the question!!

I have never really gotten into batiks, but lately there are just some extremely beautiful ones and I think I may need to reconsider! Here is one I found today...and I think it has opened the door to batiks for me

I love batiks too! I lean towards blues/purples/greens, but am slowly expanding my color selection to do a quilt I have in mind.
Make yourself a small project, wall hanging, tote bag or something...then you'll really be hooked! :)

I adore batiks but I've found lately that they don't like to be used with fusible webbing. I think it's the wax resist used to make the patterns. On the last bunch I bought I could smell the wax still in the fabric (like crayons) and it wouldn't fuse at all. What could I use to prewash to get the wax out?
