Green Options

The popularity of on demand fabric printing continues to grow in the craft and design communities.  We have shared with you before a couple on demand printers like Spoonflower and Fabric On Demand.  Today I would like to introduce you to one of the newest on demand print services called Karma Kraft.  But Karma Kraft is way more than just a digital printer, they have taken the on demand service to a whole new level.

I originally discovered Karma Kraft through an ad on True Up and now they have a fabulous interview with Karma Kraft founder Susan Lu.  With a background in the textile industry and a passion for the craft and design communities, it was only natural for Susan to create Karma Kraft to advance the accessibility of on demand fabric printing.

One way to minimize waste in craft and quilting projects is to have your own custom fabric printed in exactly the amount you need.  On demand fabric printers have made a big splash in the craft community over the past year with Spoonflower getting the bulk of blog press.  They certainly got our attention when they proposed adding an organic cotton option.  Spoonflower’s current offering is 100% Moda Cotton and they are currently testing an upholstery-weight cotton sateen.

Fabric On Demand is another service based on the same concept.  Their price is slightly higher for 100% cotton than Spoonflower, but they currently have 4 other fabric options including fleece, duck cloth, a poly/cotton broadcloth, and a micro-denier suede.  You can order a free swatch sample of each.  Fabric On Demand also allows you to order unlimited continuous yardage, where as Spoonflower allows up to 3 yards.
