Inklingo Printer Setup

11/30/2013

5 Comments

 
My blog today is focused on how I work with my Canon Pixma printer in setting up a custom sized sheet to print for my Inklingo fabric printing.  Perhaps these steps will help you to see what you would look for on your specific printer. 

Although there may seem to be many steps to my process,  please don't let it alarm you.  Once you understand what to do, you will go through the steps quite fast.  In addition, once a specific size is set up, you don't need to repeat the steps, you simply choose the size that you previously set up.


Note that "suggested custom page sizes" are included in every Inklingo shape collection for every layout, so you don't have to figure it out for yourself.  Custom page size makes efficient use of the fabric AND the illustrations make it easy to see how much fabric you will need for any number of shapes.  My information here is just to illustrate how you would go about making  a variety of custom sizes.  Many times I am using scraps of fabric in odd shapes, so I personally use many custom sizes.

When you open your Inklingo PDF in Adobe Reader, it will look something like this.  The picture is currently on page 65 of the Celtic Solstice design package, and I am  ready to print this page.

Basket Handles

Since I was doing multiple basket handles from the same fabric, I decided to try a way to do 2 handles at once, with the idea that I wanted my method to prevent any bias stretching of the background fabric.  By stitching the handles before cutting apart, there would not be a bias stretching issue. Another idea would be to add a quick hand-basted line across the bias just inside the cutting line on each of the 2 pieces before cutting them apart and then doing the applique.  NOTE: Scissors on picture #1 point to the bias line.

Steps I took to do this process - see pictures associated with steps.
1. Rough-cut Inklingo Basket for 2 basket tops.  Scissors point to bias line.
2. Basket Handle Fabric layered over background and basted on Inklingo printed lines.
3. Basket Handle Fabric layered over background, basted on Inklingo printed lines, trimmed to scant quarter seam width, and cut where the 2 handles separate (see scissors).
4. One handle needle turned.
5, Both handles needle turned.
6. Pieces trimmed and separated into 2 basket handle tops.
