Also fiber board 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick, laid between the table top (plywood) and padding (felt), can act as a soft surface to easily pin into. Registration threads (silk-extra fine) can be spaced by pinning into the edge of the table surface (fiber board edge) w/ T-pins aiding in over-all pattern registration... used a a grid.

It's a pain in the butt to have to work with yardage that comes in 4 foot lengths- there would be a lot of waste that way. If you want to try to move the fabric then give it a shot. But remember time is money and this is going to be time consuming for you- it's just not an efficient way to work. Good luck, Michelle Hi,

Most people want more than four feet of fabric at a time, but I can only build a four-foot-long table given my space. Now, since you have printed for people I'm wondering - would I be able to print people's yardage on a table that small? Do you think they would mind only being able to print a yard and a third at a time? This is why I was wondering about printing four feet, then moving the fabric. I know this would really mess up multicolor designs but how do you feel this would work for simple one-color stuff? I should just build it already and have at it, I know. Tar on my heels. Hi again,

This is why I was wondering about printing four feet, then moving the fabric. I know this would really mess up multicolor designs but how do you feel this would work for simple one-color stuff? I should just build it already and have at it, I know. Tar on my heels.

Unlike paper the ink passes into the fiber not just onto it. That's why fabric is printed on contact. I don't think card board is going to do the trick. But a scoop coater- it's a good investment.
