This extension messed with me this week, too! It’s crunch time now! I can’t wait to see the big reveal on Thursday – I love the fabric you chose.

Jenny, I’m so happy that my art suggestion helped. One of the biggest problems with buying already manufactured prints is that so many of the prints are a square size. And ready made square frames are difficult to find. With a digital print, even if the print you like comes in a square size (like the one I purchased from that artist I mentioned on Etsy), it can be cropped and then sized to fit a standard size frame. I cropped the square size to fit a rectangular frame. Also, you can have the print right out to the edges for a no mat look, add your own border, or have a mat cut. Regarding mats, I found a small local frame shop that beat Joann’s 50% off price. I had mine printed at Staples (downloaded to a thumb drive). I did not use their engineer print because the paper is too thin for that amount of ink. I think they had three qualities of paper for printing and I choose the middle grade (if I remember correctly). The printing price was about $30. I refuse to have a $20-50 print custom framed since custom framing runs $200-400!

In reply to Nancy.

Absolutely Nancy! Great idea! I’ve done some printing of some “engineered prints” through my local print shop, but on those I wasn’t looking for anything super high quality, if that makes sense. Holiday chalkboard prints – that sort of thing. I’m sure this will be a learning experience for me as well, and I’ll be happy to share!

In reply to Lisa. I have never been so lucky in my outlet shopping! It was like the heavens opened up and the angels started singing when I found those chairs! :-)

Jenny, I know you are crazy busy right now, but could you do a future post on the Etsy printable art . I would really like to know the process: Do you download onto a zip drive and take to a printer like Staples?, paper choice etc. Thanks.

Thanks Shelley – grout and tile can be so gross, can’t they? I’m excited to put this machine to work!
