Re: Batiks

Send it to me and then I'll be able to tell you.
How's that for a lame beg?

If you can't tell check out the selvage. Sometimes there
seems to be a right or wrong there. If you have to look
that hard you are probably ok either way. I like to try to
be consistent with the side I do use though.
