You can now buy fabric pre-printed with my Intuitive Daily Stitching templates from the print on demand stores below. You will need to select the template design that you want, and then select a yard of your preferred fabric to have it printed on; the fabric is then printed especially for you and sent directly from the print on demand site. The template is centred on the fabric and is designed to fit one yard, so this is the quantity you will need to purchase.
The template files are labelled with years (2022, 2023, 2024, etc) but this is only to reflect the year in which I first stitched them. They all have 365 daily blocks, so every set of templates will work for any year. For leap years you will just need to divide any daily block in two to create the extra day.
For more information about the templates, please visit my Big Cartel shop and read the summaries for the templates you find most appealing. Broadly, they will look something like this when printed on the fabric:
The way most of the templates are arranged on the fabric is four columns and three rows, back and forth, so the pathway through the year works like this:
The 2024 version is rather different in that it’s more of a map than a formal grid, and you may need the paper templates as well to make sense of that one.
Having the fabric printed this way means that the format of the daily stitching templates will be roughly a square on a square yard of fabric. There isn’t currently a way to print the templates as a long strip, which is what you can opt to do if you transfer the templates onto fabric yourself from my PDFs.
I’ve done daily stitching both ways, as a long strip and as a large square, and I don’t find that one is any easier or more difficult than the other. It’s the same volume of fabric, whether it’s long or square, and you only need to handle the bit you’re currently working on. But something to bear in mind if you think you might find working on a large square piece a bit unwieldy.
If you’re in the UK, my shop on Woven Monkey will be easier and cheaper in terms of postage costs; if you’re in the USA then my Spoonflower shop will probably be better for you. If you’re anywhere else in the world, please check the postage rates to your country for both sites to find the best deal. You can, of course, order from Spoonflower from the UK. In my view, Spoonflower has the better quality fabrics
If you’re buying the printed fabric from Woven Monkey, I would probably recommend printing the templates on their cotton drill or faux linen, but bear in mind that the faux linen is 100% synthetic.
If you’re buying from Spoonflower, I would suggest their linen cotton canvas will probably give best results. This is the fabric that most resembles the vintage linen/cotton Metis that I use.
Clicking on the buttons below will take you to my print-on-demand shops where you can choose your template and fabric:
Please note that you literally just get a yard of printed fabric when you purchase this way; the daily blocks or months are not numbered/labelled, and there are no instructions. If you need the additional supporting information, you can purchase and download the accompanying PDFs here.
PLEASE NOTE: You will be purchasing fabric from a print on demand site, and the fabric is sent directly to you from Spoonflower or Woven Monkey. This is totally different and separate from my Big Cartel shop, which I stock and manage myself. A print on demand site relies on artists to upload designs, and those designs are then available to purchase from the site; the artist does not get involved in the order or shipping process. If you have a query about your order you will need to contact the print on demand site direct; I am unable to assist because the fabric itself does not come from me, and I have no access to information about purchases or orders. I can’t see who orders what because your contract is with Spoonflower (or Woven Monkey) – your payment goes directly to them, and they then print your fabric and post it out to you. For transparency, I earn 10% commission on your Spoonflower purchase, but that is my only connection with the order process.
If you’re intending to use your completed embroidery as a functional item, you will need to wash your fabric (cool gentle machine or hand wash) before stitching as there will be some slight shrinkage.
