Personalizing Fabric
ScanNCut Specialist Julie Fei-Fan Balzer talks about how she love decorate fabric pieces with stencils made with her ScanNCut DX.
I love to create personalized fabric! My favorite method is gelatin printing. I used a Tattered Lace design to create a stencil to decorate my fabric. The Tattered Lace design is the flowered portion of this fabric:
I combined that fabric with some other hand printed fabric to create this kind of crazy and cool quilt:
Each of the little pieces that you see was cut with the ScanNCut. I simply created my pattern pieces in CanvasWorkspace and loaded my fabric into the machine. It was quick and so easy!
For the back of the quilt I used a remnant of fabric my Mother gave me.
When I was a little girl she made the kitchen curtains from this fabric (hand sewn because she didn't own a sewing machine). I love the sentimentality of including this fabric on the back of this little mini quilt!
I love that I was able to use my ScanNCut to both print the fabric for the quilt AND to cut the appliqué pieces for the quilt! How cool is that?!
