I’m happy to be able to offer you all the advice I needed but never had when I set up my home based print studio. I once had a beautiful loft studio with a yardage production table and a $10,000 exposure unit but when it can time to fit these things into a MUCH smaller home studio I couldn’t. So I was forced to figure out how I would continue to produce professional quality screen prints in a home studio. That’s what this book is all about- and it will teach you everything I know about how to screen print. You’ll learn how to build a screen, coat, expose and print an image. You’ll also learn how to do repeating patterns and so much more! This $4.97 will save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars and get you earning money fast. Buy the E-book now.
Here are some screen shots from the e-book.

Hi Michelle,
I am a painted cushion case artist and mostly used to hand paint with acrylic paints. I prefer having unique designs for all the cushion cases so screen paint is not an option for me. however acrylic paints are hard on surface and would like to know if permaset colors can be used with brush on cotton cloths.
Take care

Yes- you can use the permaset aqua pigments and their opaques.

Hi Michelle,
I just bought your e-book. I’m in the process of setting up a small studio and I can easily say it’s the best $5 I’ve spent so far. Thanks for making so much information available for practically nothing. I just have one more question. You mentioned in one of your blogs (May 29, 09) about making a tutorial for pricing printed fabrics, I was wondering if you ever got around to it. Thanks again!
I never had the time to do it. My advice to you is factor in all the time it takes to develop the image, the screen and even the time it would take to strip the screen and divide that by how many times you anticipate doing the print. For example, it might take you five hours to devlop the print and two hours to set up and burn the image and another 30 minutes to strip the image afterwards so I would take 7.5 hours. You should pay yourself $25.00 for print development per hour which = $187.00 and say you want to do 10 yards of the fabric then you would add $18.70 for each yard of fabric, plus the cost of the fabric plus the time it takes to make it, plus the cost of the ink as well. Hope this helps.
Yes, it helps. Thanks a lot for the tip!
Thank you for this wonderful blog. I tried my hands on some thermofax screen printing,and now like to get into screen prining a little deeper.
So, I wanted to buy the ebook, but nothing happens when I click on the link. And there’s no shopping cart I could click on.
Any help appreciated,
Thank you,
Tilly
just scroll down further on the page- that’s where the shopping cart appears
I would like to start screen printing but not sure if it’s better to start with paper o with fabric… what do you think?
depends on what you want to make but I would say paper might be a bit easier-maybe.
Great wealth of information! Wish I had this kind of information available when starting out with screen printing. Thanks!

Hello Michelle, I just purchased the ebook and it’s great! I have a question about squeegees. They seem to be sold in different sizes. I know you recommend 60 durometer for fabric printing, but what about the WIDTH of the squeegee? If I’m printing mostly on fabric with a 20X24 frame, should I purchase a 20 inch squeegee or one that’s smaller?
Thanks,
Lauren
You have to find out what the inside dimensions of the screen that you bought is and then I would subtract about 1-2″ from the width and that will be the squeegee size you need. Good luck.
Michelle
