- Hi my mum wants to know if it is possible to buy paper fabric in the UK, she resides in
London. Do you know of a supplier or retailer in the UK. Hope you can help

- Hi, I'm sorry I don't know of a supplier or retailer in the UK that sells fabric paper. I think fabric paper is a homemade item. Send me an e-mail: info@fannienarte.com. I'll be glad to send your mum a few samples from my stash.

- Hi I just love this idea. I have not yet worked with fabric paper before so I wanted to ask before I venture into this project.. how flimsy or pliable is this paper fabric? Do you think this would be too stiff to use in making Roman Shades?
Thanks :)

- Hi, Amelia. You asked a great question. I think this fabric paper would work well in making Roman Shades. I wonder how it would hold up with constant use over time. Have fun trying it out and let me know if it works for you. I may experiment with this idea and make my own discoveries. Thanks for visiting and for your fantastic question.

- This is lovely. I've just started making fabric paper and it's great fun. Sploshing glue and paint around are two of my favourite activities. Discovered your lens last night while in bed with my tablet. Came back today to leave a blessing :-)

- Can you write on this type of paper?
-

- Hi, Rudi. Yes, you can write on this type of paper. See above for a quick sample journal page I made with fabric paper. Experiment with markers, pens, pencils, etc. and have fun.

- I tried your instructions for fabric paper. I loved the results after painting with fabric paints and inks but was disappointed when I cut it and sewed it into a quilt block. The tissue paper tore around the areas that I free motion quilted.

- Hi, Linda. I'm glad you liked the results of creating your fabric paper. I'm sorry you were disappointed with the results when sewing it into a quilt block. If you would like to e-mail me at fnarte(at)gmail.com, and give me your details, perhaps together we can find a solution to your problem.
Fabric paper is not as pliable as fabric, and it does have its limits. Here are some things to consider:
If your tissue paper is not completely glued to the fabric's surface, you are likely to experience some tearing.
If your tissue paper is completely glued to the fabric's surface, when sewing through the fabric paper, the holes made by the needle will be obvious.
When making quilt blocks using fabric paper, you will be more successful if you think of it as using paper versus fabric.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'm glad the tutorial worked well for you, and I hope others will learn from the results you shared.
Happy Creating!
