As a hippie in a previous life I had to wear tie dyed clothes - great memories! But I DO love batik for quilting - there is an easy method of getting beautiful results every time - photo and website with instructions are in the "internet crafts" interest photos or you can go directly here to this url http://www.rupr.com/articles/44.htm

Don't think they are called anything other that powdered dyed KraftKolour in Preston has them http://www.kraftkolour.com.au. probably most craft shops would have them too! Hope you find some.
