Thank you for taking us through the Hoffman factory. Very enlightening. I know that is probably the only way many of us are able to see the process. So kind of you to take us along on your trips. Love your videos.
Thank you Cindi for myself and other "un-abled" quilters that cannot walk on uneven areas or without our canes and walkers. I could never get to see this in person so really appreciate you making this video. 😅
Hoffman Batiks are probably my favorite fabric. This tour was fascinating. I so appreciate you sharing this video and that Hoffman was gracious to allow the tour.
Thank you for an entertaining, informative , educational video. I have always loved batiks and after your coverage, I have a new respect for them. Not a crumb will go to waste, those folks work too hard for me to even think of throwing a scrap away. Thanks so much, Cindy.
It gives you a new appreciation for the intense process and labor involved to create a beautiful fabric from very little modern machinery. Thank you for taking us with you.
Thank you, Cindi, for taking us through the process of the batiks at the Hoffman Factory. So very interesting to see. It will mean so much more when we buy any Hoffman fabric. Thanks again for sharing with us. ❤️😘🤗💕
I have always L0VED batiks but after watching this video I have a whole new and even greater appreciation for what it takes to get to us!! Thank you sooo much for this video!
My first job out of textile design college was making sample headers, maintaining the sample library and then running the QC lab. But samples were cut with those huge tailors scissors one colourway at a time. Great lazer machine.
Wow. Never realized how complicated the process is and how talented they all are. Such gorgeous fabric. Thank you for convincing them to let you share it with us.
This was wonderful. I am very grateful that you offered this video. Many years ago I worked a lot with Hoffman batiks, with a lady in Laguna Beach, California. The information and photos of the people and culture was an extra bonus. Thanks :)
Thank you so much for sharing the video and experience for those of us here! It was amazing to learn how batiks are made and how much goes into it. I'm also impressed with Hoffman on their ethical practices in getting the fabrics made. Beautiful!!
This was so very interesting to see. I have started going through my batiks and really looking close at them to see how truly unique they are. Just amazing how they make their fabric... Thank you, thank you!!!! Just wonderful!!!
Oh my goodness Cindy! Absolutely mesmerizing! Such an amazing video. Thank you for sharing your adventures. I love the idea of offering treats to the gods for protection too. I may have to start doing that myself!! Can't hurt! I must admit though, my favourite part of the video was when you were on the bus..."And here are some Hindu and Buddhist temples..OOOO a cow!!!" LOVE IT!!!! 😜🥰
Wow! I love Batiks even more now, if that is possible! Thank you Cindi for sharing this with us! Can’t wait to see your special one in a box opening so we can purchase it. The color way was so beautiful!
💖💖 Have any of the metal stamp thingys been unretired to bring some of the designs back for like a retro / limited edition collection in a different colour way? so many beautifully made pieces by some amazingly talented and practiced at their craft people!! Thankyou for sharing this journeying adventure with us!! And showing the new Fabric PAtch goodies that are coming soon!!
So enjoyed your video! Amazing! Educational! Historical! Love my quilting life! Thank You Cindy! I'm a KS gal and do not travel much so this was very enjoyable 😊 🐝🐝🐝🐝
Thank you! This is a trip I could love! One question: I did not see anyone in your tour group with a hat or bag made out of Hoffman batiks. I think the people making the batiks would loved to have seen the end result of their labor intensive work.
Well done! Cindi, your filming and commentary, thank you. You showed the highly, skilled labor necessary to produce Hoffman Batiks. A glimpse into life working in Bali. Those chops, wow. Kudos to the Hoffman Family. Loved the fields of pink 🩷
Some of it reminds me of Mexico and the foliage is more like Okinawa. How little they make doing such physical work is stunning but not surprising. Hoffman, won’t pay the workers more- not because they can’t, it’s because they aren’t lawfully required to.
Darn it lol...do you think he's into old bags? Only if he's 30 Plus lol. Just kidding. He sounds very knowledgeable. I enjoyed the video Cindy, thank you!@@TheFabricPatch

Not only you as I wilt in extreme heat! I so appreciated watching and learning from the comfort of my sofa without needing an ice pack.
Yes it was so hot. So hot.
Hoffman Batiks are probably my favorite fabric. This tour was fascinating. I so appreciate you sharing this video and that Hoffman was gracious to allow the tour.
I now, really appreciate my Hoffman pop dots! God bless all the individuals who made it possible.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing! Very humbling to see how hard the people work to make the fabric ❤

Loved the tour and seeing how all this is made. Can't wait for your fabric to arrive. Yes, we will all be wanting it.

So glad we hung out together for two weeks!!!
Thank you for your tour of the Hoffman factory. Never knew there was so many processes that batiks had to go through. Really enjoyed.
Wow! What a process! It’s amazing for all the work that they don’t cost a fortune! Amazing 😮
Right?!

Me, too! Especially environmentally-caring Hoffman Batiks. Loved that floral at the working site.
Yes that’s right. Such great people. Great company.
Oh my goodness Cindy! Absolutely mesmerizing! Such an amazing video. Thank you for sharing your adventures. I love the idea of offering treats to the gods for protection too. I may have to start doing that myself!! Can't hurt! I must admit though, my favourite part of the video was when you were on the bus..."And here are some Hindu and Buddhist temples..OOOO a cow!!!" LOVE IT!!!! 😜🥰

Very Educational Thank You

Thank you for sharing your experience.
Fabulous video. Loved that you have your own tjap made. Cindi, I think your hair looked great. I would have looked liked a drowned rat.
lol. I did!!

Our pleasure!

💖💖 Have any of the metal stamp thingys been unretired to bring some of the designs back for like a retro / limited edition collection in a different colour way? so many beautifully made pieces by some amazingly talented and practiced at their craft people!! Thankyou for sharing this journeying adventure with us!! And showing the new Fabric PAtch goodies that are coming soon!!
Yes I think they occasionally pull them out for a collection. I think that’s why they don’t get rid of them. A bit of an investment.
That was so interesting. Thanks for sharing 💗
Thank you for sharing. Very interesting to see what goes into making a batik fabric so beautiful. Love your video.
Thank you! 😊
So enjoyed your video! Amazing! Educational! Historical! Love my quilting life! Thank You Cindy! I'm a KS gal and do not travel much so this was very enjoyable 😊 🐝🐝🐝🐝
Wonderful Video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much!
What a WONDERFUL video. This has been the best hour I’ve ever had in a long time. THANK YOU 1:00:29
❤nice share🎉🎉🎉
Looked like a great trip
It was!
Thank you… amazing!
I'm in for your next Bali trip :) - How amazing
You should! 4 years.
Thank you! This is a trip I could love! One question: I did not see anyone in your tour group with a hat or bag made out of Hoffman batiks. I think the people making the batiks would loved to have seen the end result of their labor intensive work.
Welcome back!!
Well done! Cindi, your filming and commentary, thank you. You showed the highly, skilled labor necessary to produce Hoffman Batiks. A glimpse into life working in Bali. Those chops, wow. Kudos to the Hoffman Family. Loved the fields of pink 🩷
I knew you would!!
What fun!
Wow! Amazing! I want to go next time!
Please do!
Thank you, for this video very interesting Cindi
Thank you for sharing your experience! I have some old batiks in my stash. I’m going to see if they are Hoffman.😊
Thank you Cindi, that was fascinating! Now go home and try to get back on U.S. time. And as my little people say, "All the love.". Welcome home.
Thank you!!
This was enjoyable. Do they eat their dogs there? I have seen some people in places get shocked. They saw loving puppies. And they were eaten.
Some of it reminds me of Mexico and the foliage is more like Okinawa. How little they make doing such physical work is stunning but not surprising. Hoffman, won’t pay the workers more- not because they can’t, it’s because they aren’t lawfully required to.
I now have a better appreciation for the cost of Batiks. I love using batiks in my quilts. Just wondering why they bunch up the fabric?
To give the mottled texture when they dye it.
Cindy, that guy is cute! lol
lol. Yes. And so young.
Darn it lol...do you think he's into old bags? Only if he's 30 Plus lol. Just kidding. He sounds very knowledgeable. I enjoyed the video Cindy, thank you!@@TheFabricPatch
