Stamping on fabric
#21
So, you like the results best with the muslin and cheap cotton? Thanks for showing the results. Sounds like it is a good idea to fully test whatever fabric you decide to use.
I am a prewasher, mainly to rid shrinkage but mostly due to chemicals greatly troubling my finger tips. I wonder if you were to prewash on those same fabrics, what your results might be? Perhaps the ink would adhere to the fabric better... maybe.

Stamp test #2: Pre-washed and pressed all fabric; stamped and heat set, washed in hot water.
BEFORE:
AFTER: Muslin and cheaper fabric did the best. The Bella Solid faded some. Knit not shown but it faded badly.

Let me add to this; make sure you put a cloth between your inked design and your iron so that you don't end up with ink on your iron. I'd hate for you to get ink on your iron; they can be bears to clean.

Thanks for the info on stamping fabric. I ordered cotton gauze to make 47" swaddle blankets for my niece's twins, due in November. She has been put on bed rest and I'm trying to come up with a few non-sewing craft projects to take her.
She loves these Aden and Anais swaddle blankets-- http://www.adenandanais.com/shop/ite...ID=22&SKU=2027, with the little designs stamped on them. I think I will spend way more on fabric, thread, and stamping supplies than if I had bought a pack!
