Still the potential is there to come up with some interesting products. I have to chew on this for myself, but really like the concept.Rachel Bielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804950102480086440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281883476739158489.post-56517676355264712152010-08-22T13:44:44.890-05:002010-08-22T13:44:44.890-05:00Thanks .

There are two ways to earn from your designer fabrics using Spoonflower. <br /><br />1)If you decide to list your fabrics for sale on the Spoonflower site you will earn 10% of any sale they make except the sale of the $5.00 swatches. Those you receive no compensation for because they are kept as modestly priced as possible to allow for purchases to test they fabric before they invest.<br /><br />2) Design your fabric but do not make them public on Spoonflower. Sell them yourself on some vehicle like ETSY with the markup you think the market will bear. (If you do a 'Spoonflower' search on Etsy a number of venders selling their fabrics or designs will show up. The discount becomes 20% if you order 20 yards or more of your own single design.Helen R Klebesadelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13914198207667949334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281883476739158489.post-83464499829634719362010-08-22T13:20:22.898-05:002010-08-22T13:20:22.898-05:00I have a question, Helen. If you make your design...I have a question, Helen. If you make your designs available to the public, do you make any money off of it? You mention that SpoonFlower gives you a 10% discount on your own fabric, but do you make a commission if your design sells on their site? And, at $18 a yard, it seems like it would be hard to sell the fabric yourself. Tell us a bit of how this works.Rachel Bielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804950102480086440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281883476739158489.post-6750841325713329002010-08-22T13:03:40.491-05:002010-08-22T13:03:40.491-05:00What a great tutorial Helen.
