Mix 'em with regular cotton too! As for the holes, I found sort of scraping my fingernail across the ripped out area smoothed the fibres back together. I like your idea of a spritz and a steam too. Eeep, lovely to see what you're doing with this piece. :-)Sandra Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737049269550479188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-51132582682807601682016-09-25T01:23:12.674-04:002016-09-25T01:23:12.674-04:00I have not sewn with batiks in quite some time bec...I have not sewn with batiks in quite some time because I've had the hole struggle. (pun intended) But I'm going to keep your tips in mind and give them another go. They are so pretty and I love the many, many designs. You don't show much but what I can see, I like and am also anxious for the big reveal.

The appliqued piece is gorgeous against the background fabrics. Second, thank you for the tips on sewing with batiks! I love the idea of pre-stitching the applique holes, I will be keeping that one in mind for future stitching. I also had heard that you "can't" rip out stitches in batiks, so I am happy to read that it is possible and that the holes will go away with a little water and steam!
