  • Set up your table based on your preference found during sample printing

  • Get your first color ready

  • Mark your repeat with removable chalk or disappearing ink (don’t use pencil or pen, it won’t wash out.) To find your repeat that we do in the video: measure your block’s width and divide it by the length of the fabric. Do the same with the height of the block and the vertical line of the fabric. This will give you the number of prints that will fit in the space. Make adjustments based on any none whole numbers. If it’s an even number: mark the length of your repeat out from the center mark. If an odd number, your first measurement from the center mark will be half the size of your repeat. You’ll print to the center of your marks.

  • Another way to think of it, and if you want lesser prints in your row: Divide the number of prints you want in your row, by the length of your fabric, divide in half and that will be your middle mark for each of the 4 prints.  34” / 4 / 2 = 4.25” Your print markers will be at 4.25” 8.5” 12.75” and 17”
