Blanks
Blanks are prefabricated textile bases that are ideal for plotting and personalizing. Whether simple carrier bags, sturdy shoppers or backpacks with drawstrings - the selection of blanks makes it easy to quickly create individual pieces for everyday use, hobbies or as gifts. Blanks for plotting are practical, time-saving and ideal for beginners and experienced hobby sewers alike.
What are blanks suitable for?
Textile blanks are particularly suitable for individual designs with flex or flocked heat transfer vinyl, heat transfer vinyl, transfer printing or screen printing. They provide a neutral base onto which you can apply names, logos, motifs or graphics. Many blanks are made of cotton or blended fabrics and are therefore robust enough for everyday use and repeated washing.
How to process? Practical tips
- Preparation: Before plotting, it is advisable to pre-wash blanks if necessary to avoid shrinkage and to relax the surface.
- Alignment: Fix the motif well and test the positioning on the pocket before you finally press or sew it on.
- Underlay & protection: Always use a cloth or protective film when ironing or pressing to protect the material.
- Stabilization: Thin fabrics are easier to plot with an interlining or a stabilizing backing.
- Testing: First cut and press a small corner or a test piece to check the settings for pressure or foil.
