Batik quilting
#1
I have only just started sewing with Batiks in the past few months! I used to avoid them because of the variations in the colors blew my mind! Now, I love them....for the very same reason!
I started a few months ago with the Batik wedding quilt for my son. Then, with a GC from DH I bought a pattern for a purse and a few yards of batik...then another purse pattern and more Batiks...I am loving it! And, I can have my purses the way I like them.
I was wondering what pins do you use with Batiks? Any pins that I have bought so far seem far too big in diameter for the tight knit of Batiks.

Hi... I love batiks too. First quilt I ever made was last year and it was a queen size for my granddaughter. Don't remember the name of the pattern, but it used the plastic templates with lots of curves... and 2 different sizes of templates. She loved it, fortunately!
Thought I'd never get it finished tho.
Could you post some pics of the bags you make? I still have lots of fabric left over and would love to use them for something like that for gifts.

When I use batiks I just use those yellow flowered headed pins, but that is only because that is all I have. I have never noticed it leaving any holes or anything in the batiks. But then again I can't see clear so I may just be not seeing them. ;)
