I like the transparency method because I'm often adding more stuff later, and even though it stiffens the fabric, it's not *too* bad!Cyndi Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564900810103675653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10301171.post-17222879455287998732012-10-05T15:12:41.401-04:002012-10-05T15:12:41.401-04:00Great post!

Same goes for direct printing onto treated fabric, which comes in cotton and silk. I'm not sure this would be the best option for you if the logo needs to be really big, unless you wanted to do it in sections. Couldn't you just sketch it directly onto fabric and use fabric paints? Then you're not limited by size at all.Cyndi Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564900810103675653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10301171.post-30999108608393321762010-04-14T00:00:12.326-04:002010-04-14T00:00:12.326-04:00I am looking for some information about transfers ...I am looking for some information about transfers and what is the largest size of transfer paper you can buy? I am doing something so different for our 30th Anniversary SDAEOP conference in June. I crocheted an afghan, red, white and blue. Very simple, but a very heavy one. Soft. I used a Q hook, with Homespun yarn, crocheting two skeins at once.<br /><br />I want to put our logo on some type of fabric, which will be large enough to also use a bit of filler so the logo will puff up a bit when sewn on the afghan. Suggestions for fabric that will sew easily to an afghan?<br /><br />Nancy S.Nancy L.

Overall, transparency transfers are a bit more delicate than t-shirt transfers, which as designed to be a bit stretchy and move with your fabric. I think overall if your fabric has stretch, you'd probably be better off using a true t-shirt transfer.
