What kind of fabric can I print on?

Updated 05-29-2009

Spoonflower is working to expand the range of fabric it offers.

We currently offer:

Quilting-weight. Our base fabric is white 100% cotton, 60-square, and just slightly over 4 ounces per yard. It is lightweight combed cotton broadcloth with an extremely soft hand -- perfect for quilting and sewing. The printable width of the fabric is 42 inches (with 1-2 inches of unprinted selvage).

Upholstery-weight. We also offer an upholstery-weight 100% cotton sateen (warp sateen) that is just over 10oz per yard, with a lustrous surface well-suited to digital printing. It's great fabric for bags, pants, home dec projects, and the like. The fabric has a printable width of 55 inches (with 1-2 inches of unprinted selvage).

Linen-Cotton blend (Limited-time only). This is a special fabric that we'll only offer while our supply lasts during June. It's an antique yelloow (tea-stained) 55% linen, 45% cotton blend that is around 5 ounces per yard and would be great for skirts and blouses, especially historical reconstructions. It has a printable width of 40 inches (1-2 inches of unprinted selvage).

It is our intention to offer additional fabric choices in the near future, including organic cotton. If you'd like to weigh in on what kinds of fabric you would most like to see, please drop Kim a line.
