IMO, Kona's quality is very good. But I don't think Kona is exactly the right fabric to go with batiks. The type of fabric is altogether different. No doubt someone else will have a good idea as to what would be best to use.

I agree, you need something with a finer weave. I have found some white on whites that would go well. Just need to refind them. Let me look.

Another idea, not the best but would look Ok, is a poly cotton.
They have a tighter weave, just depends on your preference. Many here would not use that option probably.

Here is a link for many white on whites:http://www.ericas.com/fabric/whitesonwhites.htm

Also many muslins are tighter woven than others. Those you would have to see in person with a sample of your other fabric in hand. Good luck and others may have other options.
