you can even use pigment based stamp pads. it will say on the package whether it's pigment or dye based. Just heat set, and off you go. I do this a lot for labels and such. Since I'm a scrapbooker, beader and quilter, i like to double up my crafts as much as possible.

This works best on synthetic velvets, especially the rayon type.

Hot Potatoes stamps are very nice, but they're also expensive. I have had great luck with what the stampers call "chunky" stamps, the big fat foam ones like you'd find in the "kid" section of the craft stores, or the home dec section. In fact, Hot Potatoes has lots of good info on their website

You should put the fabric in an envelope, put the stamps on the envelope (not on the fabric) and mail to...

AhhhhhhhhhhhhHAHAHAHA! Can't even afford the fabric right now (will wait until room gets painted for that), so I probably wouldn't be able to afford the postage either.....have to make curtains AND a quilt (or duvet cover, haven't decided yet).
