Let’s Start At The Very Beginning… a very good place to start
If you are unfamiliar with how to use a rubber stamp on fabric, not to worry! The process is simple and can be learned quickly. Before you begin, gather all your stamping materials, including a fabric stamp or a custom stamp, fabric, and fabric ink. You will also want to have some scrap paper and scraps of the fabric you are going to be stamping, as this helps avoid mistakes and defend against spills during the project.
Finding The Right Fabric

Synthetic fabric, fabric with a glossy or shiny finish, or loosely woven fabrics pose a higher risk of ink bleeding or stamps going on unevenly. When this happens, the impression can wind up messy and unprofessional.
