The Fabric Press are one of the original UK fabric printing companies. You can order from 20cm of fabric printed with your own design. They print on 100% cotton fabric – sheeting, panama and canvas. The price is £45 per metre with postage at £4.50 per delivery.

The designs are transferred from pre-printed transfer paper onto fabric by contact heat – basically a big oven. The dyes are absorbed by fabric during this heat transfer. Heat Transfer, also known as sublimation printing, is great way to produce high clarity, well defined designs.

Designers use Photoshop today to start their fabric designs. That’s why we are introducing Adobe Textile Designer – – a set of tools for fashion and décor artists to help streamline the process of designing prints for fabrics.

Make sure your design is balanced

Balance within a design can be considered in many ways including: Colour- making sure your colours are well balanced and work together. Texture- make sure your choice of textures work together. Layout- choose a layout that works with the motifs you are using and desired outcome.

To upload your design you will need to open up the Spoonflower website. Click on Design > Upload on the homepage and then choose your file to upload. Now you can choose the repeat style for how you would like your design to be printed on the fabric.

In conclusion, I would order from Spoonflower again. Their cottons are decent quality and wash well, but watch for those designs that take up the full surface or are full of dark colors. Printing on the synthetics bring out the vibrant colors one expects; on the cotton fabrics it’s not as bright (in my experience).

As a seller on Spoonflower, every time someone purchases one of your designs, you will earn a base commission of 10% of the retail price of the fabric or wallpaper sale (regardless of any discounted or promotional price).

Spoonflower is a print-on-demand service that allows you to create your own design, upload it, and print it on fabric and wallpaper. When someone purchases something you designed, you get a 10% commission on the sale. You can learn more about how that works at Spoonflower’s website.
