Has Anyone ordered from Batiks Plus? OMGosh I placed an order online on Friday and it was just delivered today. I think that is the fastest I have ever received anything just going UPS Ground. Their yards are 40inch cuts and then they throw on a couple more inches. On one of the 4 yard pieces it ended up being 4 3/4 yds. They also threw in 3 very generous fat quarters of a the brand new Hoffman batiks. their prices are very competitive ($9.60/yd) I will definetly order from them again, Oh and if you sign up for their newsletter you get a $10 off coupon on a $50.00 order. Oh and they included a complimentary Pattern also!

I am not affilliated with them in any way just think that they are an awesome company to do business with.

I usually try to buy from LQS but no one around here had the Hoffmans that I needed for 3 different quilts so I went there looking for them and they had all I needed.

They are sort of the official "archive" for Hoffman batiks, especially the older ones.

They might charge more for that 8 year old discontinued mottled batik that you have to have to finish your project, but they're the only ones that will have it. Their site is better than Hoffman's when it comes to tracking down fabrics.

Also, they have EVERY batik listed, so you can see if a pattern you like comes in other colorways or, conversely, which patterns are available in a specific colorway.

Love them!

Wow, that was fast!!! You got mail today? We didn't get any here. I was bummed because I'm waiting for some Carol Doak books.

I have ordered several times from Batiks Plus and they have always been very speedy in getting me my order. They have always included extra batiks and even free patterns before. I do love to order from them. Glad you had such a great experience with them too.

TY! Guess I'll check them out!

Hmm this sounds dangerous (for my wallet). I've resisted batiks for a long
time and I will keep at it...although I feel a little faint. LOL
Won't go there...won't go there...won't go there. Nope. Won't.
Why did I open this post? :evil: :roll: ;)
I'll know who to blame if I get the batik bug. :D

It is highly contagious, but I try not to be an instagator or enabler but I just love that site. I just placed another order!
