Just lost my reply to this thread, so trying again.

If you search online, there are a staggering number of companies now printing digital fabric. Guessing that the printers are becoming less expensive. That doesn't mean all of them do it well.

I recently ordered a lot of repro Marcus Fabrics online, only to find they were all digital. No mention was made of it beforehand. So, when I saw "Ellie" by Brenda Riddle, someone whose designs and personal qualities I greatly admire, I decided to contact her to see if it was digital. I didn't really think she'd write back, but she did!

Afterward, I asked if I could pass it on to the Quilting Board, and she agreed. Hope it's helpful.

"Thank you for your kind words. They mean so much!

As for the fabrics - (& all Moda fabrics) - they are not digital prints on fabric. They are printed one color at a time, either by screen printing or engraved onto rollers (depending on the print). I know that there are some fabric sources (like Spoonflower) that do use digital printing because of the nature of their businesses… but Moda does it the old fashioned way - where the fabrics are created in fabric mills.

Hope that helps & answers your question!

xo, Bren"
