Pat, I loved hearing all about the digital vs regular printing of panels. It’s great to have someone that’s expanding our knowledge about not only the quilting world but life skills as well. I look forward to your videos.
The digital fabric is gorgeous, just loved the mermaid panel.
Thanks for the information about printing fabric. It was very interesting. We all owe a debt of gratitude to Rosa Parks and Dr. King and others. I wish we were closer to achieving their goals. We have a long way to go.
When my son no longer had to wear ties he gave them all to me. Saw a pattern for a dresden plate type pattern using ties. That is my goal with his ties. Very interesting tutorial.
I grew up in Detroit and visited Henrey Ford Museum many times. One thing I wanted to share is Mike Illitch, founder of Little Ceasars pizza, found out Rosa Parks was struggling. He made sure she had a place to stay by paying for her rent up until she passed. Mike Illitch has since passed but that stuck with me on his generosity. The traditional and digital was very interesting. 💙
Good info about digital prints. Please also talk about 1) which is better for environment. 2) digital prints are trickier to machine quilt because the color doesn’t go through the fabric, but sits on top.
I think that by learning about all of the different parts that make the whole of quilting is fascinating. Digital printed fabric today. Maybe hologram fabric tomorrow. The possibilities are endless.
Lovely show today,traditional and digital printing and the very hard lives of people gone by.My mum went to South Africa with my dad when he was drafted in the mid fifties and said how hard it was that the local people had to go in the 'back door' of shops,buses,separate seating in the same cinema,
The fabric manufacturing process is so interesting, I saw a video on it and learned that digital printing is so much safer for the workers as well as being a more cost-effective manufacturing process. Thanks for talking about it today. I would also like to visit the museum with the bus upon which Ms Parks was riding.
I really liked hearing the conversation about digitally printed fabrics. I will be sharing your post with my quilt club of 40 ladies… I’m determined to make them Sloanies like me!!!
Yesterday after your show I checked out Kendall's channel. It was a 2 step process to get there but you had it highlighted in your notes. 👍 I watched him make that chubby pineapple 🍍 you love 💓. Since the coloured markers won't be printed on digitals the red zinger quilt came just in time! Your tree quilt has a vintage look to it. Pretty 🌲🙂
I love hearing about the fabrics. I don't get out to shop so its great to see it in someone's hand.
I enjoyed hearing about the digital versus printed! So very interesting! Thanks for the pattern links and great to harr about Rosa Parks and the bus bieng in the museum. I did not know that
I really love that pink scarf you have on today! Thanks for the info about digital printing. I think another advantage is better matching of colors. I remember watching Tula Pink explaining how she gets preliminary prints of her traditional fabrics and sometimes has to return them because the colors aren't quite right! With digital, what you see is what you get! As for the Christmas Tree quilt, I've pieced several of them, but haven't quilted them as yet. It is an easy, fun pattern!
I knew that digital prints were more detailed but the other information you offered was great too! My LQS participates annually in the Rocky Mountain Shop Hop here in Colorado. Knew the financial commitment was high for these shops to prepare, advertise and pay for special fabrics for these events - 3000 yards is a lot of fabric! Thanks.
Thank you for the talk about Rosa Parks. She certainly was a brave woman. Also enjoyed hearing about the difference between traditional printing vs. digital printing. Was very interesting.
Your Christmas cross stitch is so stinking cute. I really miss doing hand work. But I can’t see well enough anymore to enjoy the process. Maybe it’s time to get some cheater specks. 👓🤓 Thank you for the detailed discussion about digital fabrics. I love learning about the textile industry. I enjoy all you do. You are such a joy. Thank you.
Speaking of Rosa Parks...I watched a documentary on Harriet Tubman on PBS. Called Harriet Tubman: Visions of Freedom. Wonderfully moving.
That is the beauty of quilting. Learning new things which then affect my future decisions on color and design. Thanks for the great lesson.
What an interesting video! Thank you. You have demystified the printing of fabric, which is good information to have.
I have used ties in memory quilts. After loosing my husband, I made several quilts out of his shirts. I have plans to also do something with the ties where they are quite prominent, but I don’t know what yet. But I wanted to experiment, so I used one or two ties in a couple of the memory quilts. Once undone, the ties are just like fabric. I backed both the shirts and the ties with light interfacing. That was very important. The result:
The tie added a vibrancy to the quilt that the regular cotton did not have. Using paper foundation piecing, I created blocks spelling out “I love…” I ran out of tie fabric and had to use regular cotton fabric that blended well. The colors were fine, but the vibrancy of the cotton just did not match the silk in the tie.
The quilts are throw quilts and used and the tie fabric is not wearing as well as the cotton. Another reality! But I will deal with that as needed.
Hi Pat, loved your segment on digital prints v's traditional printed fabrics. In the Longarm community we have need discussing backwards and forwards about the individual threads in the digital prints twisting and showing the white side of the thread. It happens when the needle or thread rubs up and down on the fabric stands as the stitch is made. As you can imagine the needle goes in and out of the fabric hundreds of time a minute depending on the quilting speed used. Sometime the twisted threads look like white 'pulls' in the finished quilt. Has your contact in Benartex any suggestions on how longarmer can better handle this? It was a real problem in the beginning and a lot of longarmer were not accepting digital prints because some customers would not accept that it was not the longarmer's fault. A lot of the recent fabrics' fibres will settle back into place over time / wear or washing but I'd be interested to hear from the manufacturers what they suggest / recommend how best to quilt these new fabrics which are becoming more and more common. Sorry for the long explanation .
Cheers from Down Under.
Really enjoyed hearing about the differences in digital and regular print fabrics…it was very interesting. Thank you for always educating us in the textile industry!❤
I appreciate you teaching us about the digital and regular printed fabrics. I have several digital panels and I honestly never noticed they don’t have a color block. That was so interesting! Thank you, Pat! I love all of your tutorials!
Loved hearing the differences between digital printing & standard printing of fabrics.
Yes, I loved hearing more about the digital fabric printing process. When they first hit the shelves I didn't care for them because of how different the fabric looked from traditional prints but now they have gotten better and there are so many intricate prints to choose from. Thank you, Pat.
Thank you for the information about digital vs printed fabric. I never realized that many panels are digital.
I loved learning about the fabric printing process. My husband was across the room and stopped what he was doing to listen in, he enjoyed the lesson too! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing the differences between digital and original quilt printing! It was something that I had wondered about and then went onto something else! Squirrel! Lol
I did enjoy your talk on fabrics. Behind the scenes information on the things we use in our crafts is really interesting! Thank you!
Rosa Parks - such a brave woman for her time. BTW, your blouse and scarf are beautiful!
Thank you for explaining the process for traditional printing versus digital printing. I find it fascinating.
I did enjoy learning about digital printing vs traditional fabric. I learned something new today and that is a good thing.
I just watched one of your old videos where you showed the smaller version of the tree quilt!😂 It was red and white, both sizes are nice!
I appreciated hearing about the digital printing. I have seen those when doing some online ordering, but I have avoided them because I didn't really understand what they were/the difference. So thank you! It was great to have you talk about it today. Always appreciate your videos, and always learn something new. Today I learned a lot of new things! Thank you for all you do for us Pat!
There is a Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery Alabama. The Southern Poverty Law Center also has a good exhibit on this. There are many interesting civil rights sites to visit here.
There is a company that prints on a variety of fabrics and wallpaper also. They have a vast amount of fabric designers. They don’t print the design until you order it. You can have it printed on everything from silk, cotton ,stretch fabric, canvas, denim. It cuts down on waste. The colors are beautiful. You can choose large prints or smaller prints of the same design.
I just used a Christmas panel that I was able to cut apart for various wall hangings, hot pads,...the one frustration was the framing on the smaller parts was uneven. It was very hard to make it "square". I don't know what company made it. They did turn out cute though, if you could overlook the slightly askew borders. Also, if I made a "hole" while hand quilting, it did not repair itself. Wish I could share photos, but am tech illiterate and don't know how. 😋
I love Benartex Fabrics!
Pat, it was great to hear about the differences between these two fabric printing methods, I have often wondered about it.
I have always wondered what is the difference between digital and traditional printed fabic. Thank you for explaining.
That was very interesting, Pat. I didn’t know anything about digitally printed fabrics. Love to learn new things involving quilting. Thanks!
Here are my thoughts about digital prints from a little different perspective . When longarming regular fabric , if you have to unpick any quilting you can just steam iron it or spray with water and iron it and the needle holes close , no big deal. With the digital prints, the hole will close but you can see where it was , there’s a little spot where the color is now missing . Digital prints have come a long way and the quality is getting better but that is one drawback . I cringe when I put someone else’s digital print quilt on the longarm , 99 % of the time it’s all fine and turns out beautifully, that one percent though 😮 it also seems like the digital print fabric frays or unravels more . I’d love to know why
Watching your videos allows me to grow as a quilter. I enjoy learning " how things work" so today's segment on digital fabric was interesting. Maybe a "how things work" could be a once a month feature?
Thank you for the info on digital vs. traditional printing of fabric. Very interesting! You showed us some gorgeous examples. I also love the Christmas tree quilt! I've already downloaded both patterns and I coincidentally had purchased some Christmas charm packs at our Guild's Quilt Show. I love when random acts fall into place! Can't wait to make it!
It was good to learn about the difference between traditional & digital printing process. Sounds like digital can be reprinted a lot easier per demand!
You should really show us more Benartex fabric, they have some amazing stuff
I love the digital panels, they are so beautiful
So much fun learning about the difference between digital and traditional printing. Thank you
I found it very interesting to learn more about the digital fabrics. They are all gorgeous. My Charming Christmas is on my sewing table, patiently waiting for me. I hope to get it finished this next week (I'm making the smaller size.).
Really enjoyed learning all about the digital fabrics. I didn't care for them when they first started to come out, but now they have really improved.
I loved learning about digital vs traditional! I also learn so much from your fabric selection process! Thank you for your great TH-cam videos!
Totally geeking out over the digital v regular printing process. Just fascinating!
I made that tree last year. I just love it! It is going to hang in my living room this year
I loved the info on digital versus traditional printed fabric. I always enjoy learning new things so thank you, Pat!
Very interesting fabric discussion! Your Letters to Santa cross stitch project is coming along nicely. Loved your comment about bottom lines possibly not meeting in the middle--"that would be so me"--I can certainly relate. 🤣 I think I'm going to try your stitch-in-hand method with my next project.
Wow, the information about the digital printing was so interesting, thanks Pat! Hadn't known the Rosa parks bus was at the Ford Museum. I've always wanted to go there to see the quilts, now I have another reason to go!
Very interesting info, yes, I like hearing about panels and different aspects of the fabric industry. Thank you
Very interesting information about digitally printed fabrics. Thanks for doing the research!
I use panels a lot, so process was interesting. I really love Thomas Kincaid paintings, so I might have to look for that one. Not sure what I’d do with it, just want it. Ha ha.
That was really interesting regarding the printing of fabrics and the amounts done for the different techniques.
Great combo about the digital fabrics. Our One Block Wonder group uses many digital panels to create gorgeous quilts! The other big difference that we work with is the print repeat. For traditional roller printing it's 24" and with digital it's up to 36".
Great cross stitch!
I love your tree quilt. I have yet to make one. I think I may have bought the Santa Claus last year for this pattern. Or it could have been for your table runner. Love your sweater and scarf too!
Thanks for explaing the difference between the digital and traditionally printed fabrics. I always find it interesting to know how things are made.😀
The Henry Ford Museum is wonderful! Many historical vehicles including carriages and limousines of US Presidents and the original Wienermobile. would've also suggest visiting Greenfield Village (seasonal) which is next to the HFM. Henry Ford moved historical buildings such as the Wright brothers bicycle shop and Thomas Edison's Menlo Park lab there. Definitely worth a trip to Dearborn, MI to visit.
Really interesting learning about digital vs traditional fabric making!
I think I prefer traditional print fabric.. The quality seems better.. however digital do have its benefits with quality of print on the fabric .. Thank you Pat for sharing I’ve always wondered
I loved learning about the digital printing of fabrics! Thank you for the information. 😊
That was very informative. I rarely use panels but the last time I did it was very easy and the quilt turned out lovely. Thank you for all the information.
I enjoyed hearing about the digital VS standard printing of the fabrics... very interesting Thank You
I have used several digital prints on the back of quilts. They are beautiful and seems to make them more reversible than Judy a regular backing. Especially great for bed quilts..2 in one!
Interesting discussion of fabric printing, learned something new. Panels are fun to work with. O, good morning Pat Sloan! See you online tomorrow!
Interesting information about the digital fabrics……thanks Pat! Love seeing all your sweater weather blocks ……reminds me I need to move along on mine…..I should post my colors and fabrics❤️
Yes, it was very interesting to find out more about digitized printing. Thank you for taking the time to share this information with us. I love all things fabric and thread related!
Hi Pat from a rainy day at the beach in Santa Cruz, CA. I did make the small and the larger FQS Christmas in July SAL tree quilts, but gifted the larger one. Seeing your pretty tree makes me want to make one for myself now 😂. Very interesting discussion about digital prints, ty for sharing that with us, learned a lot I didn’t know! ❤
It is interesting to see the difference in fabric processing.
I really enjoyed hearing about the difference in the fabric.
Oooohhhh. I love your sweater and scarf pairing. So cute!
I really enjoyed learning a little about the panel fabrics and printing. Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
The information about the different types of printing is so interesting!! Thanks for sharing this.
Really enjoyed this discussion on digital fabrics. I ordered some for a quilt I am working on as a Christmas gift & am very impressed with the feel of the fabric, how it sews, & how it irons--plus looking like a photo of almonds! Thanks Pat I always learn so much from you.
I am now in Amsterdam and I remember when i was about ten years old that my mother told me about the strong woman Rosa. She had it from the newspaper, maybe the radio. I still feel the importance tone how she told me. Probably my first political education! Thank you mum and Pat. Then I had never seen a black person, 25 km from Amsterdam!
So interesting to learn about traditional vs digital fabrics. Love how you keep up with the latest trends! Thank you, Pat!
I loved learning about the different fabrics! Such a neat episode! Thank you!
That was really interesting. It's always good to know the process behind the tools we use in our craft. Thank you Pat
I use to think panels were to hard & really didn’t look for them. I bought a beautiful Christmas panel in 2020 & now I am a panel girl😅, they are beautiful, like a piece of art, I buy them all the time, do t tell my husband, he thinks I have an odd obsession with fabrics anyways, I love them❤️
Don’t all husbands think that 🤣🤣🤣
Digital vs traditional printed fabrics was very interesting! Thank you! Maybe someday we could ‘see’ how the difference is. 🤔
Hi Pat,
Thanks for the information on Digital fabric. I learned stuff I didn't know. Understand it much better now. Really like your Christmas tree quilt, might try making me one. Great job on your cross-stitch piece.!!!! You have been really working on that piece. So, proud of all your hard work. Thanks for sharing your progress. Be blessed and enjoy your day. Alberta from Southern, MD....☃☃☃
Loved learning about the panels. I have several and want to make them into quilts, good sized quilts, but need help with ideas on how to do that!
I really enjoyed the fabric explanations! Also talking about Rosa Parks.
Enjoyed learning about the digital panels, they are so very beautiful.
Loved learning about digital fabric. Thanks Pat.
