Care instructions
Wash at 30°C, low tumble dry heat, hang to dry, do not wring, low heat iron.
Every individual fabric requires its own degree of care, but they are generally very easy to look after. To ensure they always look their best, we generally recommend a cold and delicate wash, if you want to put them in a washing machine cycle. Some are hardier than others, and for naturals, such as 100% silk, we recommend a specialist dry cleaner. Hot washing at anything above 30°c could cause colour fading. Natural cotton options (like all natural cotton) have some degree of shrinkage in the printing process. Please accept 2-3 % shrinkage in the X and Y directions. To compensate, we suggest allowing a margin of shrinking in your design. Do this by adding more bleed area in your design. If you require any additional help with care or design instructions, then do not hesitate to get in touch via our online chat.
Custom cushion material is very popular. If making cushions is your game, then our range of upholstery textiles are made for you. Quite literally. Whatever your decor is like, you are sure to find a fabric to match it. If you are designing cushions for your best room, such as a lounge or the master bedroom, then try our ranges of silk and satin fabrics. With an opulent and smooth finish, they will add elegance and style. For the kid's bedrooms, why not create a soft and cuddly cushion that they can snuggle with at bedtime? Our range of velvets have the cuddle factor and will look stunning printed with your cushion material creations.
Print pillow material fabric for down or feather-filled pillows. These printed cushion fabric pillows are filled with feathers or down, which are soft and fluffy materials that are perfect for providing support and comfort. They are often covered with a cotton or cotton-polyester blend fabric perfect for printing on.
Enjoy all sorts of cushions with this fabric; bolster, scatter, floor cushions, pillow fabric and more. You can choose the dimensions of your material, so enjoy cushions of all shapes and sizes. Your cushions, your rules.
Our specialist digital printing process is something we are very proud of. It allows us to flawlessly print your designs deep into the fibres of your chosen fabric. This creates a vibrant and permanent print that will not rub off or fade away. Every individual fabric has a slightly different finish and structure. Therefore, you can expect different print finishes. Some of the fabrics, such as the natural cotton, have a beautiful, slightly muted print that adds to the rustic charms of this lively textile. Others, such as silk sensation, deliver a punchy and bold print ideas for pillow fabric. The different compositions all have their own unique charms, base tones and yarns, so have fun getting to know each one and seeing which will be best for your cushion material project.
Due to the nature of Cotton Linen and Pima Lawn Cotton, there is a chance that occasional very small white dots, where pieces of cotton fluff are removed, revealing unprinted white base material. Please note that this is normal and cannot be avoided but won't affect the strong colours and detailed nature of your print.
Depending on how you use to use your cushion fabric, you can choose from three different edge finishes. Each is expertly stitched by our team of skilled seamstresses:
When digital printing on cushion fabric, you most likely will choose not to have your fabric hemmed, if you are using it to make cushion material, however, if you do it is important to bear these measurements in mind:
All of our fabrics are printed at 200dpi. This works for us as it combines a great quality as we as a good file weight. In order to avoid resizing and interpolation, we recommend that you scale your image to 100% at 200dpi. Our design interface works with a traffic light system that acts as a quality marker for your designs. This will show you whether the resolution is too low for printing. When you re-upload your design with a highest resolution, the traffic lights will change colour, showing you're good to go. A message will pop up alongside the traffic lights to let you know if the resolution is too low or if you have a good quality image.
Your uploaded design will automatically be scaled to fit the size of fabric you've chosen. You can change the dimensions of your fabric by amending the measurements on the ‘Product Options’ tab, under ‘Print Size’. To see how this fits with the dimensions of your image/design, you can refer to the ‘Images & Text Tools’ tab under 'Quality Information'. Here, you will be able to edit the dimensions of the image.
We always recommend using an RGB colour space when you upload your images. More specifically, we suggest using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best colour results. This will need to be done in your editing software; choose RGB as the working space, and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
There is no length limit for most of our fabrics. Our preview design window is set up to displaying a maximum of 10m to help you visualise the print, but that doesn't mean this is the print limit. If you'd like to order more, you can increase the quantity (x2 for 20m or x4 for 40m for example) and order as much as you'd like. Larger volumes will receive an automatic discount too. While the fabric length is nothing to worry about, each individual fabric will have a maximum width side: These can be found on the fabric's page information or in the design interface.
Yes, that will help you when it comes to cutting or framing your printed fabric. We recommend always adding a little extra space for borders into your purchased fabric size. When we print your materials, or send out fabric samples, we typically trim squarely around the fabric, leaving approximately 5mm white space. Cutting neatly on the line has an additional fee.
Crocking is the term used to describe fading along the creases in a fabric. It typically can occur after constant washing or heavy use of digitally printed natural fabrics. Crocking can be minimised by hand washing your fabrics at a cooler temperature, rather than machine washing. If you want to make sure there's no chance of crocking, we'd suggest you use a poly fabric.
Yes, our organic fabrics don't have an additional coating like non-organic fabrics have, which means it absorbs the inks deep into its fibre and reducing the colour strength slightly (this can be approximately -40%). If you would like a bolder, more vibrant colour for your fabric, we would suggest using a non-organic fabric.
Unfortunately not; all of our fabrics have been tested meticulously to ensure we know exactly how to get the best results, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. If you are set on a fabric we don't offer, we can offer custom printed sublimation paper to order which will allow you to heat press your designs onto your own fabrics.
If your design is simple and less intricate, a JPEG will be absolutely fine. However, if you have created a design with multi-coloured detailing, we would recommend saving your design in a TIFF format.
Similar to other fabric printing processes, shrinkage can occur. The amount of shrinkage will depend on the fabric, but as a general rule of thumb, please allow for 2-8% shrinkage when working out your measurements. Shrinkage is not an exact science, and the amount of shrinkage will vary from print run to print run. We'd always suggest order a little more than you need for your project.
Many of the fabrics we offer are semi-transparent, so printing on both sides of the fabric is not a service we offer.
At the moment, all of our fabric labels are printed on satin fabric. For now, we believe this is the best choice, but will potentially introduce other options in the future. All labels are cut to the same label format. If you would like to choose a different fabric and format for your labels, you could always order a sheet of the fabric of your choice to create labels yourself.
Our fabrics are printed with water-based inks as environmental consciousness is always front of our minds. Water-based inks include no chemicals or solvents, and our printing process uses heat to fix colours and patterns into place to avoid excess or contaminated water returning into the water system (this is something that can occur through steaming). All printing, fulfilment and production is done in our one facility in London, and rather than rolling the fabrics or sending them in a tube, you will receive your material folded up. This amounts to 150 tubes saved a week, as well as much more space on the delivery van for more orders. (For delicate fabrics we ensure to package appropriately).
Although very rare, there could be a slight colour difference from one print run to another. This is a normal part of the printing process, however we are always working to improve our colour profiles. It is unlikely that the difference in print runs will be hugely different (for example, it's unlikely your orange is suddenly going to be red). The likelihood of colour variations can be intensified fabric to fabric due to materials having different grains and textures; natural fabrics typically have more muted colour tones, while poly alternatives have a bolder hue. This is because the construction of the material is different, and the printing method has to be altered slightly for more delicate, natural textiles.
Our full cut & sew service at Bags of Love can be used to your full advantage. We even offer hemming for your fabrics at a small additional cost. Our hems are created with a one or two cold hem that typically uses around 5 to 20mm of fabric (depending on the thickness of your chosen material). Please bare this in mind when you are ordering your printed fabric with hems: If you would like your finished piece to be 100cm x 100cm, change your dimensions to 101.5cm instead to allow space for your hems (you will also need to include additional for potential shrinkage). The thicker the fabric, the bigger the hem will be. Your printed fabric will be hemmed with either Black or White thread. If you are ordering a lightly woven material or a printed silk, you will find that one hem will be straight, while the other slightly rippled. The hemming material allowances are as follows and you need to make your print bigger to accommodate the hem:
