Batik Fabric





Batiks are a type of fabric often used in quilt making. They are made by a "resist" process where the designer uses wax to prevent dye from penetrating some areas of the cloth, leaving those areas un-dyed.
The process can be repeated many times to create complex designs, using many colors.
This process originated in Indonesia and today, most Batik fabric is still made there. Expect to find an inspiring variety at Stitch in the Ditch online Store
Can we mix Batiks and Cotton Quilt Fabric?
Yes! They are a wonderful mix, Batiks can be included in today's quilts with other, more traditional cotton quilt fabrics.
