I love Batik work. Years ago my daughter and I did a few yards of material for her art project. She made a skirt, handbag, and a top....scraped the wax away, cut out her pieces, sewed them up and then used my new iron to press them. Thank Goodness she ironed them inside out. Otherwise everything may have flamed up....Yup The residual wax soaked into the ironing board cover and when she saw that it was, she set the iron down and ran to get a towel??? to soak it up. The iron heated up the wax and started smoking, a lot. and singed the cover. But, she made an A on the project.
