I wanted to put an embroidered name on a book cover I was making, but my machine don't like to sew on that type of fabric, it was black leather like stuff. I did the embroydery on a pc of black fabric, trimmed it just over 1/4 inch from the letters, turned that 1/4 inch over and used black thread to stitch it to the book. It looked great. So that might work, as well, only using your printer on the boughten fabric.
Or, send it to me and I will do it for you. My embroydery machine is up and running.
