    Default Anyone Ever Use Spoonflower

    I am in search of the green calico fabric and can't find it. I was going to use my ink jet printer and use the fabric sheets to duplicate. My quilt shop suggested trying Spoonflower to reproduce it. Has anyone ever used their services? Any suggestions or links that you may have had success with locating old fabrics would be apprciated. Also any suggestions on how to print your own fabrics on an ink jet printer would help. I'm trying to finish the last row of my Grandmother Flower Garden. TIA.

    Carol Bryer Fallert has an article on printing on fabric with Bubble Jet Set.

    Good luck finding your fabric. I hope someone on here can point you to some. I have not tried Spoonflower after reading multiple times about how badly their fabric fades. Do you have a selvage for your fabric to help search for more? Maybe someone here will have some in their stash that they would part with.

    Your quilt is beautiful. I need to make myself a kit up so I can do one of these. It is an ideal handbag(purse) project. Good luck with finding your fabric

    there are a number of (fabric search) sites- if you visit the Fabshophop main page they have a fabric search feature-
    i have used spoonflower with great success- but i don't think they will (copy) an existing fabric for you...you could visit their site & see though.
