Have you ever looked at a fabric and thought, I could have designed that.  Or thought, that would be great if I had just the right coordinating print.  Or maybe you just can't find the exact fabric you'd like to finish your quilt.  Well now, you can be the fabric designer.  It's true, a number of websites are beginning to turn up that will print your design on fabric.

It is a very simple process, for most the sites all you need to do is:

1)  Create an account: Enter your name and address and create a password.  Once you have created an account, any files you submit will be stored should you require them later.

2)  Upload your design via a file: Each site has generally the same file requirements, but you should always check to make sure your file will be compatible with that particular site.  Once you have uploaded your file, you are able to do some manipulation of the images. e.g. mirroring, offsetting.

The general requirements are:  150 dpi, JPG, TIF, PNG, EPS, PDF files: file sizes 10 - 25 Mb; RGB or LAB color

3)  Submit your order: Enter shipping information and payment type.

Prices begin at about $16 per yard.  The price depends on the type of fabric and size.  Some sites will print fat quarters.  These companies strive to be environmentally friendly in their use of dyes and pigments.
