What happened to all the Batiks at Connecting Threads?
 
Does anyone know if Connecting Threads is going to discontinue selling Batiks prints? I just went to check and only see ONE that has a design on it. The rest I don't care for at all. I hope they will get new stock in. I've been very happy with their print Batiks in the past and have purchased a LOT.

I don't know, I don't care for them.

I have most of CT batik lines. I have them shelved with my Hoffman, Princess Mirah, and Timeless Treasure batiks. I can't tell any difference between them other then the design. I have mixed the batiks in place mats and tablerunners and have 't noticed any fading difference between them either. I hope CT gets in a new line soon.

I think that they are selling out the old batiks before introducing this years' collection. Seems like they did that last year too... Might want to contact them directly.

I saw an ad just now on my computer screen from Connecting Threads showing some batik fabrics. So I looked into it. They do have some batiks but they are not like what I bought from them last year...no designs on them, just the look of marble or stirred thin water colors.

probably will have a new batik line soon is my guess

They have only one on sale, but still have their regular "basics". http://www.connectingthreads.com/col...17.html#basics

I love the ones I have from them. I sure hope they get more.

I am with you all - love the batiks I have gotten in the past from CT and hope they will be getting in new ones!

CT has wonderful customer service and products, I'm sure they will listen to you if you email or call them to let them know what kind of batiks you want and that you are less than thrilled with their current selection ... they won't know unless people speak up, IMHO

Batiks are lovely to use in quilts and garments. I don't understand why some people don't like them.

Cannot get into their site to check anything out. Don't know what is wrong
