    Default Where can I find a fabric Printer?

    I am working on a project that involves a center medallion that measures 40 X25. A poem by Emily Dickinson called Hope. I am now looking for a company that can print the poem over a cloud background.

    I am having a very hard time finding a company. Has anyone used a service like this who can give me a recommendation ?

    I have heard of Spoonflower? company that will print fabric to order. One of our members used them and was happy with the fabric. It is more expensive than regular fabric of course.

    I have seen lots of great reviews for Spoonflower.

    Hopefully they can help you.

    Our local Kinko's will also print on fabric if you supply the fabric. At least that is what they told me quite a while ago.

    I have used Spoonflower and can recommend them for you. The website is easy to use, they have very good customer service, and I was pleased with the finished product.

    I also am a 'fan' of spoonflower their prices are actually less than paying a print shop to print it out for you- and it is much better. I paid almost $40 one time to have a print shop put a picture on a piece of fabric (12" x 18") it came out like a t-shirt decal...stiff & rubbery...which was not what I wanted at all. at SpoonFlower the fabric will be like any 'print fabric'; good quality, soft & colorfast.

    On spoonflower look at the watercolor section and there is a cloud pattern that is nice.

    Thanks for that great resource everyone! I didn't originally ask this question, but I've been thinking the same thing.

    I used a lady in MN that can print up to 50 inches square (I think). You might contact her and ask. She was very easy to work with and reasonable too.

    www.fotosonfabric.com

    I had her print a police badge and used it as a medallion. I was impressed at the quality of the fabric and the colors. Let me know if you would like to see pictures of that quilt.
