Can I use Spoonflower to print my photos on fabric?
Yes, digital textile printing is terrific for photos. Pictured here is a pillow — a gift for a family member this Christmas — that I put together with the help of photos from my Flickr photostream, Picnik’s collage feature, and Kim’s sewing talents. This pillow is made from Spoonflower’s linen-cotton canvas, which makes for a nice sturdy pillow fabric, and a 16″ pillow form (from Amazon). First I set up a front panel on Picnik with 8 rows and 8 columns of photos, which at “high” quality produces a collage image exactly 2400 pixels x 2400 pixels in size. 2400 pixels conveniently prints at 16 inches using 150 dpi. [Note that the 8×8 layout is available only to Picnik premium members, but you can do the same thing in almost any image-editing program, including the basic program that probably shipped with your digital cameras.] After setting up a back panel the same way I saved both files to my hard drive. To save a bit of time, I used Photoshop Elements to arrange the front and back pan
