Over a dozen types of fabric, wallpaper, decals, and gift wrap - over 6000 Glimmericks' designs!
Finally. I have put my pen to paper and mouse to screen to express myself in fabric. I have an ever-growing number of designs available and publish two categories, those that are already proofed and available for sale, and those that I have made available for viewing but not yet purchased proofs of.

I have selected Spoonflower as my printer/vendor because they have a friendly, professional and simple approach, provide a variety of fabric types, and offer pretty rapid turnaround. Their quality seems to be pretty good too.
Currently, Spoonflower offers to print just what you need on twenty-one different types of manmade and natural fiber fabrics. They also print on very high quality wallpaper, woven polyester fabric decal paper and giftwrap. The fabrics and prices are available in the following link. Shipping is extra but very reasonable.

Personal observations:
- Quilting cotton prints crisply but colors are a slight bit more muted than the Sateen and Canvas.
- Kona cotton has a yellowish casts and "grays" the blues a bit.
- Colors really pop on poplin; it's more difficult to sew with but washes well.
- Purples print more "blue" on silk.
- Linen-Cotton Canvas is very soft and supple, not stiff at all.
- Cotton Jersey Knit is to die for - very, very soft, blues go a little "light" on them, but reds and yellows are bright. Darker jersey fabrics tend to fading more in the washer.
- The Crepe de Chine and Cotton Voile do not print as crisply as other fabrics do because of their weave so expect more muted colors.
- Designs are printed with polymer inks, not soaked in dyes or woven into the fabric. This means that (1) the ink is on the surface on one side of the fabric and not saturated through the cloth; the back side will be white. (2) Inked surface can wear off or, in the case of twill, the inside of the fibers may swell, twist, and become exposed with wear, making the design appear lighter. If wear is a concern, even for washing, use Scotch Guard to protect prior to use or washing. Tests have shown that it improves color retention and wear for printed natural fabrics. Follow Spoonflower's fabric care advice for best cleaning results.
