I was a fine art printmaking major in college but never knew we could print on fabric. Now years later I learned from other articles the origin and actually printed some of my zinc plates on muslin and they turned out as good or better than the paper prints. I used real printing ink, black not a dye so it's a little untrue but the fact is a metal plate has great fine details and it all transfers to the fabric easily with pressure from the printing press. Now that I am a quilter all the time and not a printmaker of late I always look at the modern toile and judge them for quality of line. I didn't know they were all down with silk screen which explains why the are so blotchy and the lines break up... It's very exciting to see how the quilter's reproduction prints are better than most found in the home decor dept. of normal fabric stores. This helps me think of ways to use toile and I am excited to know more about them. Thanks again!
