We like to call our suede printing one of our 'hero' textiles, as it's fire rated and water repellent, making it safe to use for curtains and other soft furnishings.
This is not a diva fabric by any means and is relatively low maintenance. Machine wash on 86°, medium tumble dry or hang dry when damp. It loves to be ironed, steamed and given a brush if you feel the fibers are starting to stiffen. You don't need to wash it often, leaving you to enjoy getting on with other crafty hobbies.
Due to the rubber textured backing, it's a great material for cutting and sticking, so indulge your children in a fun arts and crafts afternoon using our faux suede printing. They'll love that it's customized with bespoke designs, photos or patterns.
Being largely opaque with a structured, stiff drape, it's one of our favorite textiles to use for making curtains. A less labor-intensive use is to line storage or jewelry boxes with custom suede fabric print. Restoring old furniture and gifts is super popular, and this suede style material is perfect for doing just that.
Design your own suede printing, made and printed, and see what amazing things you can make at home.

Ordered a custom fabric piece on Dec 24th and received it on the 30th. Pretty remarkable considering the holidays. Great printing job - exactly as pictured. I'll definitely be ordering from here again.
Another perfect order!
Perfect product, perfect delivery—totally with the price!
4 TIME RETURNING CUSTOMERBags of love the best
I consistently get high-quality speedy delivery of my wholesale needlepoint canvases from Bags of Love. You make it possible for me to do business. Thanks.
23 TIME RETURNING CUSTOMERFast printing and done the RIGHT way
I've been using bagsoflove to print custom fabric for my various sewing projects for years. The quality has always been top notch. This was one of the first times where I ever got an email notification saying they wanted to reprint because the fabric quality wasn't up to their standards. The fabric still came very quickly (a week-and-a-half rather than the average 5 days) and they even included the failed fabric as a free add-on for me. It was really nice, to be honest. I appreciate that they took the time to print it RIGHT rather than just send an off-print.

The soft, brushed yarn fibers of the faux suede printing, are backed with a synthetic rubber that has a slightly waxy feel, making this a great fabric for lining and upholstery. Our specialist dye sublimation process fuses the ink deep into the fibers, creating a permanent print. Your designs won't peel away or scratch off, so you can enjoy your homemade creations for years to come. Everything is done to order and finished to your specific requirements, allowing you to concentrate on being creative!
*When you design your fabric, you have four edge finishing options: cut on the line for precision, hemmed with white thread, hemmed with black thread or left as a plain rough cut.
We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi; this means that no resizing of your file occurs, preventing any interpolation. Our design interface will have a quality marker next to the design that you have uploaded, this will change color using a traffic light system and display a message. The message will let you know if the resolution is too low or if you have a good quality image.
When you upload your design our system will automatically scale it to fit your chosen fabric dimensions. In the ‘Product Image’ tab, the displayed dimensions under ‘Print Size’ will show the dimensions of the piece of fabric that you are ordering. For image/design dimensions you need to see the ‘Images & Text Tools’ tab. You can see and edit the dimensions of the image under the quality information next to the thumbnail.
We advise providing images in the RGB color space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best color results. What does this mean? In your editing software, choose RGB as the working space and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
For most of our fabrics, there is no limit on the length of the fabric that you can order. We have a preview design window set up to 10 yds max to visualize the print, but that's not a print limit. If you'd like to order more, increase the quantity (x2 for 20 yds or x4 for 40 yds for e.g.) and then you can order as much as you'd like, with a built in automatic volume discount too. The maximum print width of each fabric can be found on the individual fabric pages or in our design interface.
Yes, that might help you! Always incorporate any extra space or borders into your purchased fabric size. We trim squarely around fabric samples and fabric prints, leaving approximately 0.2" white space. Cutting neatly on the line has an additional fee.
Crocking, which is fading along the creases, often after washing or heavy use, occurs when you digitally print on natural fabrics - more so when dark or dense colors are used. It can be minimized by using a cool hand wash instead of machine washing as the tumbling of the machine is the main cause of this. To avoid entirely, we would advise using a poly fabric.
Our organic fabrics do not have any coatings that the non-organic fabrics have. This means the ink absorbs into the fibers, reducing the color strength slightly (by approx. -40%). For super-strong colors, we recommend a non-organic natural fabric.
Unfortunately not; we like to test meticulously so that we know what gets the best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. We do however print sublimation transfer paper to order, and if you have access to a heat press you can press your own fabrics easily.
For multi-colored or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colors and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
Just like many fabric printing processes, there is the potential for shrinkage. Depending on the fabric, please expect and allow between 2-8% shrinkage which you need to plan for in your dimensions. This percentage can vary from print run to print run and between fabrics, so we would advise to order a little more material than you require for your project.
We do not offer to print on both sides of the fabric, as a lot of our fabrics are semi-transparent or have some show through. This wouldn't work with double-sided printing. This is not a service that we offer on any of our fabrics.
At the moment no, our labels are all printed on the same satin fabric. We may introduce more in the future, but for now, this is the best choice. The labels are all cut the same way. You can order the fabric of your choice and make the labels yourself, but we do not cut different fabrics into label format.
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colors and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfillment. Rather than roll the fabrics, or send them in a tube, we fold them before they are sent out to you. This saves over 150 tubes a week, as well as a lot of space on the delivery van. (For delicate fabrics we ensure to package appropriately).
We work at improving our color profiles all the time. Though rare, it may happen that from one print run to another, and there could be slight color differences, this is normal and part of the process when we are constantly improving. It is extremely unlikely that there will be a huge difference (like orange instead of red for example). Please bear in mind such color variations can be intensified from fabric to fabric due to the varying grains and textures of the fabric. This is due to the construction of the materials as well as the print methods that have to be altered slightly for more delicate, natural textiles.
We have a full Cut & Sew service here at Bags of Love, and are able to hem your fabric prints for a small additional charge. We create a small one- or two-fold hem that typically uses 0.2" to 0.75" (5-20mm) of material, depending on the thickness of the fabric. So, for example, if you want a finished piece of fabric that measures 39.37" x 39.37", you will need to order a size of 39.96" x 39.96" to allow for the hem (on top of that please also allow for shrinkage of min 2%). The thicker the fabric, the bigger the hem will be. You can choose to have your prints hemmed with either Black or White thread. On our silk and other light woven fabrics, one hemmed edge will be straight (vertically down the roll) and the other will be slightly rippled. The hemming material allowances are as follows and you need to make your print bigger to accommodate the hem:
All of our fabrics are cut manually by hand, with the utmost care and attention. If your fabric has a slightly uneven look on the edges or a touch of fraying, this does not indicate a flaw in the textile. It is not always possible to achieve a perfectly straight cut with certain fabrics, so please do bear this in mind when it comes to your design. If you have any queries or would like to know about our cutting methods in more detail, please get in touch and we will be more than happy to discuss them with you.

Please note: As everything we provide is handmade to order, you may find a slight variance in the sizes.
