Instead of employing traditional screen printing methods, we print our designs digitally. Using water based pigment dyes, our designs are printed directly onto the fabric. Pigment dyed simply means that the printer lays ink down on the surface of the fabric, much like the conventional inkjet printers you find in the home or office - just supersized! The benefit is that we can achieve a very high level of detail in our designs.

All printing and design is done in our shop in a small town in Upstate New York State (USA).

Absolutely. Digital printing offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional rotary screen printing, with chief advantages in water and power consumption as well as the elimination of harmful chemicals. Instead of requiring hundreds of gallons of water to yield a single yard of screen printed fabric, our digital printing process is virtually water free. That advantage is two-fold; not only does digital printing avoid consumption of a limited resource, it also eliminates the need to dispose of toxic wastewater. According to the World Bank, the treatment and dyeing of textiles accounts for nearly 20% of industrial water pollution globally, second only to agriculture. Furthermore, you'll be happy to know that we lessen our environmental footprint even more by printing with non-toxic, water based pigment inks that are biodegradable. Finally, the power consumption of digital printers is also a fraction of their screen printer counterparts, making this process an exciting step in moving towards sustainable practices in the textile industry. We are thrilled to take this process yet another step closer with the option to select our In House digitally printed fabrics on a 100% GOTS certified Organic Cotton. So not only is the process an eco-friendly option, so too can be the base cloth.

Compared to traditional rotary screen printed fabrics, our house printed fabrics do arrive a little stiff, particularly when a design has high ink coverage with dark colors. Digitally printed fabrics go through a roll to roll heat press to heat set the ink and, unlike traditional screen printed fabrics with chemically reactive inks, our fabrics are printed with eco-friendly water based pigment inks that don't require washing in the post printing process. However, if you pre-wash at home, you'll find that digitally printed fabric softens much like standard rotary printed fabric. And you can feel good about supporting a printing process that's widely considered to be the most environmentally sustainable in the textile industry. What's more, you're buying American made!

For most projects, pre-washing our fabric before use is a personal choice. There isn't anything inherently different about the digital printing process that requires washing before use. If you are making apparel or wearable accessories, we do highly recommend pre-washing your digitally printed fabric to ensure a proper fit after your project is sewn.

Our digitally printed fabric holds up very well under ideal washing conditions. We do everything on our end possible to ensure the fabric will meet both our own high expectations and those of our customers. Please follow these simple care instructions:

   -Machine wash cold, gentle cycle
   -Wash with like colors using phosphate free detergent
   -Do not bleach
   -Choose a larger load size to prevent creasing
   -Tumble dry low, remove promptly or line dry
   -Warm Iron

A standard size needle of 10 or 12 can be used on our Quilting Cotton and Medium Weight Sateen. Due to the high thread count of our Poplin, we strongly suggest choosing a finer needle size 10 or 11. For our Canvas, a needle size of 14 or 16 is recommended. A needle size of 9 will work best for our Rayon. For our Knits, you should use a size 10 or 12 needle with a Ball Point. For more information about needle sizes, we recommend this handy guide. As for thread, we like piecing with a 40 or 50 wt, though any thread weight may be successfully used. We have enjoyed using our printed fabric for a variety of projects: from quilts to apparel, and everything in between.

All of our in house fabrics are printed on demand. Please allow 1-2 business days for order processing before it may ship. If you need other goods urgently you may wish to place your digitally printed order separately.

Once a digital order has begun processing it cannot be altered or canceled.

We offer sample strips for all of our in house Print Collections; at this time we do not have sample strips available for Basic Collections. You may also purchase as little as 1/2 yard sample of any fabric in our shop.

Our non-toxic wallpaper is printed with latex inks on a woven 100% polyester opaque fabric and backed with a revolutionary adhesive that leaves no sticky residue behind; reposition and reapply ‘til your heart’s content! Whether you’re using for an accent wall, a whole room, or for DIY projects, peel and stick wallpaper offers a quick room refresh for homeowners and renters alike.

No paste, no water, no mess. Installation is easy with our simple installation guide. This will also be included with your order.

You’ll need a plastic smoothing tool, sharp blade, and a step stool or ladder. If you're hanging the Wallpaper on a surface painted with low/no VOC or scrubbable/stain resistant paint, you'll also need 70% isopropyl alcohol and a lint free cloth to prepare the surface. Having a friend is handy at times, and makes the project more fun!

Store in a dry place in plastic where it cannot be crushed.

It is repositionable and you can reuse it multiple times, as long as the adhesive is free of dust and debris. If you plan on reusing your Peel & Stick Wallpaper, be sure to save the backing paper.

Yes! Be certain that the surface is dry prior to installation. It’s best if a shower is not used immediately prior.

Surfaces should be smooth and free of dust. Prior to application, wipe walls with a gentle cleanser before application. If you're hanging the Wallpaper on a surface painted with low/no VOC or scrubbable/stain resistant paint, you'll need to wipe down the surface at least twice with 70% isopropyl alcohol and a lint free cloth. Do not wipe in circles, only straight and in one direction. If you need to prime the surface, we recommend Valspar Multi Surface Primer. Wallpaper will not stick to textured surfaces or wood. Do not apply to freshly painted surfaces. Please wait 30 days after painting to apply wallpaper.

Our Peel and Stick Wallpaper can adhere to almost all paints, but some types of paint are less ideal. If you are priming before installing our Wallpaper, we highly recommend Valspar Multi Surface Primer. If the surface is painted with low/no VOC or scrubbable/stain resistant paint, or you're not sure what paint is on the surface, be sure to properly prep the area as instructed with 70% isopropyl alcohol, and apply a sample before purchasing the full amount for your project.

No. Our Peel & Stick wallpaper cannot be installed over extremely porous surfaces.

You can certainly apply this wallpaper over existing wallpaper as long as: 1) it is not textured 2) not peeling 3) clean and free of dust. Please note that you might want to examine the wallpaper you have to see if it is overlapped seams or butted seams. It will work best over butted seams.

A defective peel and stick wallpaper will not stick, you will not be able to install it. If that happens, please contact us right away. Problems arising days, weeks, or even months after a successful installation are due to poor preparation and/or less than ideal surface conditions.

Textured Surface - Peel and stick wallpaper adheres best to a completely smooth surface and is not recommended for textured surfaces.

Insufficient Prep- Peel and Stick Wallpaper will not adhere well to walls that are dirty or dusty.

Poor installation - Failure to press firmly with a smoothing tool can result in the wallpaper bubbling and/or lifting from the wall.

Newly Painted Walls - While paints dry to the touch within a matter of hours, most paints do not fully cure for up to 30 days. Wait at least 4 weeks for freshly painted walls to fully "outgas" before applying peel and stick wallpaper.

Low/No VOC Paints - Consult with your paint supplier, Peel and Stick Wallpaper will not adhere well to these types of paints. You can try cleaning your walls with 70% isopropyl alcohol and a lint free rag as per our instructions, but we strongly recommend trying a test sample prior to a full installation.

Scrubbable and Stain/Scuff Resistant Paints - These types of paints are formulated specifically to not bond well with foreign elements. Use with Peel and Stick Wallpaper at your own risk, and be sure to try a test sample prior to installation, preparing the wall as instructed.

Poor Temperature Regulation - Avoid installing wallpaper in areas without consistent temperature control, like a 3 season sun porch, outdoor playhouse, or garage.

High Humidity - Moisture within walls can cause wallpaper to lift, especially if the walls are moldy.

Prior to any install, we recommend trying a test sample, particularly if you're unsure of what type of paint is on your walls.

Yes. Wipe clean with a soft slightly damp rag. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Wallpaper may be ordered by the foot. You may order a 1 foot sample of any wallpaper.

To calculate this manually, you will need to measure the width and height of each surface you are covering in feet. Round the height up to the nearest whole number to determine the length of the roll. Divide the width by two and round up to the nearest whole number to ascertain how many rolls you need to order. You can also use this handy wallpaper calculator!

Wallpaper orders will ship in 1-2 business days.

Wallpaper will ship separately from other items.

While we’d love for the chance to meet our customers, we don’t have a physical brick and mortar shop where we could receive walk-in visitors.

The majority of of our selection is 100% cotton, which we all know shrinks! To minimize shrinkage we recommend a cold wash on a gentle cycle with like colors, followed by a low heat tumble dry. We offer cuts in 1/8 yds increments so you can easily order a little more to account for slight shrinkage.

No not at this time. However, we do have plans to offer this in the future!
