Tips For A Perfect Result Of Batik Fabric Quilting
Originally from Indonesia, most of the Batik material which is currently available is made in Bali. Batik is preceded by canting, which was in use by women in Java in Indonesia. It is a form of art which uses dyeing as its base. Making of Batik, though simple, can give very attractive results. Interestingly, this form of art was and still practiced by women.
Special copper caps are used to cover the cloth with wax on which batik is to be done. This cloth carries very intricate designs. Once covered with wax, this piece of cloth is dipped in dye or sometimes painted, as per design requirement. Then it is ensured that the dye has reached where it has to. Then the wax is removed by boiling the cloth several times. The outcome is a piece of gorgeous batik work.
