Thank you so much for your responses! Now I have some more questions.
I've been reading up on fabric printing today and didn't realize it was so easy. At least it looks easy from what I see, I haven't actually tried it yet, so who knows how it will turn out. And it looks like I don't have to buy special fabric which is good because I have fabric I want to use.
My project has changed a little and it's much simpler. It's just one quote I'm gong to be using (that a family member wrote many years ago) and I want to print it onto muslin and then put that into the center of some quilted jar openers that I'm going to make. The quote itself will be about 3.5"x3.5" and the jar opener will be about 6"x6". I'll be making 8-10 total of these.
Question for anyone who knows - should I be pretreating the fabric with something so that the colors won't fade? And if so what do you recommend?
Oh, I just had another thought. Can I double print on fabric? For instance, put the fabric through once and have a background picture print on the light side and then put through again with the actual quote?
One more question - looks like I'm gong to need to buy a color inkjet printer. Are there any special features I should look for when buying this or will any printer work? I don't want to spend a lot of money on it.
