Custom fabric printing/Fabric Blog
I came across this blog while looking for info on place to do custom
fabric printing: http://www.trueup.net/fabric-study/d...-and-giveaway/ FWIW, I just designed some fabric to be printed at Spoonflower and am not completely happy with it - the printing was fine and it washes ok but IMHO the fabric is too light weight to be "quilting cotton". But I think if I line my fabric I'll be ok. I am going to spray baste my printed fabric onto some lightweight white cotton and then cut and sew the two layers as one. The blog was a happy find. Amongst other topics every Friday there is a summary of which online sites are having sales. Could be especially tempting for those who don't need to contend with shipping across the border to the great white north! Allison |

Custom fabric printing/Fabric Blog
Cool! Thanks for a great idea. I can't count the number of times I've
wished for a fabric nobody has designed yet. (Although that does not mean I could design it myself... but it's worth a try!) I went to the other site, Fabric on Demand, and noticed 2 weights of cotton, 6oz and 4oz. Do you remember what the weight of your fabric is?

The spoonflower fabric that I got was 3.2 oz, 76x 78 threads per square
inch: http://www.spoonflower.com/spoonflower_fabrics The designing part is a lot of fun! I found a site that explains the basic principals...I'll look for it and post it.
