I can take them or leave them. I have a few I bought for applique, but have only used a very few. I do like that it's hard to tell right from wrong side.
|
Some patterns look beautiful in batiks, but to me they don't have that wonderful feel of other 100% cotton.
|
Different strokes for different folks as the saying goes. I think until you create something with it you may feel that way.
I can't get enough of batiks and it was only after I used some of it did I really get to loving it. Now I can't live without using some of it in my projects if not all of it. |
I would have agreed with you a year ago. Then I signed up for a free BOM just to try them and now I'm hooked.
|
I do not like batiks, never intend to buy any of them. They just do not impress me as fabric for quilts.
|
I do not like Batiks I used them in a quilt Challenge and they stretched all over the place. I do like the silky feel of them and may make a quilt in the future.
|
I love batiks and love working with them. They don't fray like other material does.

I think I'm in trouble!! There isn't any fabric that I don't like. I love batiks, white on whites, and cream on cream. I could go on and on. Oh, there are some that I can leave on the shelf for now, but I love them all. Yes, I think I'm in trouble and need a 12 step program or something. HELP

I am also not crazy about batiks. I think some of them are just OK, if they have clear colors, but too many of them look way too muddy to me. I have some in my stash, but I have never used them in anything.
