Washing Batiks & Knowing What's the Right Side
I am getting ready to pre-wash my first set of batik fabrics after reading many posts advising to do this before cutting. My question is how will I know what the right side is vs the wrong side after washing and drying?

I didn't know there was a right or wrong side. I suggest you use Retayne. Here is an interesting article.... http://www.batiks.com/a_batik.html

Sometimes the design is a little sharper on the front. But whatever looks good to you is all that matters. What I do is to mark the back of the yardage with a chalk pencil before I cut, just a rough grid a bit smaller than the pieces I plan to cut. Then I only have to decide once which side is which.
