    I have a collection of amazing and unique textile designs that come from digitalizing my original artwork. I dont know how to get them to people that could use them for clothing and/or homegoods. Thoughts?

      Hi Deb,

      Thanks for reaching out. Have you looked into participating in Print Source? It’s a great show, a lot of exposure. If that’s not an option, do you have a website up and running? What are your social media channels like?

    I just came across this and as a huge fan of prints, I am glad to learn about local print studios. BUT- check out http://www.eztextiles.com. They have downloadable hi-res and royalty-free textile designs! Personally I like them because i am on a budget and textiles from studios are expensive!
