    Fabric paper

    I'm a total newb when it come to customizing. Been able to repair a knee pin and swap heads (with much effort )

    Was wondering if anyone had ever tried fabric paper for printing a costume which has complex patterns / emblems, etc.
    The tips section in CUstomego mentions using avery fabric paper for cloth emblems (which I will try!).

    But wondering if using a cotton paper that's soft enough would allow you to print out a whole suit and then you'd just sew it up?
    has anyone ever tried this?

    I'm talking about papers like this:

    or maybe the Avery ones (I haven't tried either)

      I have been using this stuff with my printer at home with good results, although it doesn't stretch at all, I have gotten some pretty complex designs printed out. You can see some of the pics in the user gallery under my screen name.

          Thanks for the replies. Wanted to make sure I wasn't way off-base in thinking this was possible. Just another option instead of attempting to sew a lot of different color fabrics together. I saw your stuff Spyweb007, very cool! Exactly what I was thinking.

            Is the Avery paper the one that people usually try do this kind of thing with? Or is there something better?
