Batiks.com Review February 17, 2015 11:52
Batiks are really the only kind of fabric I use. Most batiks are imported from Bali, Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Flannel batiks are also amazing to work with. Today I'm reviewing the website batiks.com. Last month I made a significant order (over $200) at batiks.com. Batik selection was incredible. They probably have hundreds. I browsed "batik by color". Other categories included "sea life batiks", "flannel batiks", "sale items", and many others. Prices range from $12.50 to $6. When I placed my order, it seemed like they cut the fabric the same day and it was popped in the mail the next day - so great service! Only two problems I found with this website. One was batiks.com did not list the thread-count, which is measure of quality. For high quality batiks the thread-count can be 600. If your local quilt store typically only buys high quality batiks, you may be disappointed at some of batiks.com fabrics. The second problem I found was that the minimum cut was 1/2 yard. Many fabrics I selected were for 1/3 yard (.33). I did not discover until the end that none of the 1/3-yarders I ordered were in my shopping cart. (They give you a warning page but I did not notice it.) Overall, I would recommend batiks.com!
