The Clothworks product is USA made and they are all solids. Right now, the best printing mills are in Japan and Korea. Recently, I thought I saw at least one large fabric company(but forgot the name) is trying digital fabric printing. I forget which one, but if they could get digital fabric printing here, maybe they will start printing the fabric here as well.

Spoonflower, which is a small company (I just rechecked their website) is actually doing digital fabric printing by order, so the technology is here. It just becomes a matter of the companies getting on board, depending on cost.
