Good plan. How is the weight of the fabric? I’m guessing it will need backing for many projects, but is it pretty substantial itself?

I ordered it on the petal signature cotton. To be honest, it’s very lightweight and stiffer than I would like. I might order some more on a heavier weight fabric. This will work for my bias edging though since it will be basically double layered.

Ah, there’s multiple fabric choices. Very nice! Wasn’t sure if it was POD on a basic stock fabric or not. Good that they have more range. Good luck with your next run!

Would you share your Spoonflower name? Or tags?
When my Oldest daughter mentioned Spoonflower to me the first time, I spent most of two days trolling the site. When she had the nerve to ask me what I was doing, I told her I was busy spending their inheritance.
But seriously, I bought the sample kit. Haven’t done anything with it yet and they have debuted a couple of new fabrics since last year. TIA.

I think it’s just YettiChild. At least, that’s my user name. I didn’t check the box to sell the fabric, cuz the imagery isn’t mine, so I don’t know if you’d be able to see it. I’m very new to the site myself.

It might be worth going to the trouble to get official approval for fans to use your art. Thanks for responding.

No, probably not. MST has always had a kinda casual relationship to copyright (keep circulating the tapes), but legally if you ASK they’ll have to say no, even if they don’t want to.
So don’t ask.

I was given permission by Ivan to use the imagery to have fabric made as long as it’s for personal use not sale.

Crochet, mostly ; I started quilting during quarantine. About to see if I can remember how to cross-stitch.

I’m baffled by the dark arts of knittery and crochetomancy, but my wife has been doing the latter for a long while. Here’s a shot of her pandemic blanket she’s been working on. The gauge is so small that you can’t get a finger through the biggest holes. It’s so much yarn!

Hi all, knitter here. I’ve always wanted to do a Joike/Joikah sweater.
Maybe someday after I do my long planned intarsia Strong Bad mask sweater.

I can knit, but I decided to learn to crochet recently. I started a “sampler” blanket. Each square is a different crochet pattern. It’s a kit, and they send everything you need for 3 squares each month. I’m very proud to say that after 8 months I have made
One and a half squares.

Yeah, well, I’ve been knitting for like, 35, 40 years and I’ve barely picked up the needles the last year or two.
I’m just worn to a nubbin these days.
Don’t stress yourself out about it. It’s not of cosmic importance.

I’m not particularly stressed about it. I’m just kind of amazed that it is SO MUCH HARDER than everyone told me it is. I know a lot of people who crochet who just rocket through projects and are amazed that I can knit because it “looks so hard” and “crochet is so much easier and faster” and … I’ve made what’s basically a washcloth.
HOW DOES IT WORK.

It works with practice, same as anything else. While I generally prefer knitting, I do think crochet is easier, but it uses different muscles so you need to work on that muscle memory.

My wife has tried to show me how to crochet several times. I like to think I am a fairly clever, competent person…and I do not understand what she is doing at all. It is some kind of yarn wizardry, and I am content to leave it at that.
I have a huge amount of respect for fabric crafts in general. I don’t think sewing, knitting, spinning, crochet, etc. get anything like enough love from the industrial arts crowd of which I am a part.
