Sublimatable Duvet/Quilt Covers?

[AdamB]

I was asked earlier if I could make a duvet set (qulit cover plus pillow case).

I know that pillow cases are available but I don't think there is such a thing as a printable duvet cover?

Anyone know of anything like this (I know it will be a pain to press).


P.S Just thinking when I type this, maybe the duvet sets in Tesco or Asda's or 100% polyester or a high polyester count to allow sublimation??

I know Steve - not really bothered about the pressing bit as I know it can be done. I did a flag last year that was .................. big!

And I did it in vinyl - and two colour vinyl as well!

I'll have to dig the photos out but it took a bit of planning then I had the flag laid out on the shop floor with the first layer of vinyl space and taped down with a cardboard box underneath with a towel around it. Then I temp pressed the first layer with a standard iron.

Once I had the first layer temp pressed I ran it through the press in various stages to give it a good press and then added the second layer (letter by letter) on the press.

A lot of work, but it looked a treat and was worth it (the letters were gold and silver as well).

I do like a challenge!

I was in Abakhan in Mostyn - they had quite heavy weight polyester fabric for less than a four pound a metre (had a nice feel not that thin satin stuff) but the shop was so under staffed, I gave up after queuing for 15mins and still 6 people ahead of me. They have some fabric online but the best bargains are in store. You might find someone to run up a cover.

good idea - many thanks, material may be the way to go
