Cotton Fabric screen printing - A tutorial by DesiCrafts

 

This video tutorial by DesiCrafts tells step-by-step process of screen printing a pure cotton Indian fabric (Muslin). The fabric that we have taken to screen print is unbleached muslin fabric, which is an organic cotton fabric. 

It’s a common misconception that one needs a costly setup for screen printing. With very little investment and almost no technical knowledge or complex apparatus, we will get you started on screen printing. We’ll make small paisley patterns in this session.

The materials needed for this are:

1. Cotton Fabric
2. Color (dye)
3. Color Binder
4. Color Fixer
5. Screen Pattern
6. Applicator

Except for Screen Pattern, you can get everything else in any Hardware store. Contact us if you need Screen Patterns.

Watch the video for detailed intructions. 

Treating the fabric: Once the printing is done, the fabric should be allowed to dry for 24 hours. Next day, the fabric should be washed in the washing machine on 'mild setting' or softly hand wash it. Dry flat in shade, iron before using it. The fabric is ready for use.

What is organic block-print cotton fabric:  

 Organic cotton fabrics are the fabrics obtained from environment friendly means such as Bamboo yarn, silk worm cocoon, hemp and banana yarn. All these are cultivated in fields to produce not only fine quality edibles but also used in producing different organic yarns meeting the quality standard set by the Organic Trade Association. Organic cotton is one of the most popular types of cotton fabric. The fabric is usually made of bamboo yarn, hemp yarn, woven in machines or hand loom.

To make the organic cotton fabric, bamboo yarn and hemp yarn is produced from the cultivation of bamboo and hemp plant. To produce the organic yarn, it takes just sun light and soil and a little bit of water. No pesticide or fertilizers should be used to grow organic or bio-degradable yarn.

The organic cotton fabric is very popular in west and gradually gaining popularity in eastern countries. Organic cotton is totally different from the fabric produced by nylon or any other synthetic yarn such as polyester or plastic. All organic fabrics are bio-degradable and are best suited for making baby nursery, clothes that come in direct touch with skin such as underwear and lingerie.
