This Brother's Print Moda Fabric Printer is equipped with a 100% cotton broadcloth fabric roll, allowing you to print in large formats. The roll is 11.6" x 194.4”, and the fabric is washable. With the Artspira app, you can easily select which size you want to print. For further customization, you can even select from two different printing modes, such as full colour, which prints colours more vibrantly, or eco mode, which prints softer colours.
If you’re looking to create a custom-designed fabric to sew with, simply go to the home screen in your Artspira app, select “Printing Designs” and then go to “Fabric Patterns.” Another option is to select “New,” go to “Printing” and then choose between “Design Editor” or “Geometric Patterns.” Next, you can choose from patterns that are already on the app and can be customized or you can upload a graphic design that you created and edit it within the app. The “Effect” function allows you to play around with the colour of your pattern, and the “Direction” function lets you flip or rotate the pattern.

When you’ve completed your fabric pattern edits, select the size you want—including selecting a custom size which allows you to set the width, height, and seam allowance—save your design and send it to your Print Moda. Your fabric will be printed in minutes! Once it’s printed, separate the fabric from the plastic film and let it sit for approximately 20 minutes before using it.
With your custom-designed fabric in hand, you can go on to create an assortment of items, including clothes, pillows, or bags, to name a few. If you need project ideas, you can browse through the Artspira Magazine or the “Popular Projects” section in the app. The creative possibilities are endless!
