Can you sublimate on cotton fabric to be sewn and heated in microwave ?? I make rice bags and need a certain fabric print and thought of doing this … I have a sublimation printer and ink …
So, while cotton will take sublimation temporarily, it does fade. 100% pure cotton will eventually lose all of it. We wouldn't go putting sublimation stuff in the micro. It will re-sublimate, causing it to get everywhere and could get into the food you heat in there.
Hey! We do have a plan for these smaller pieces (vide coming after our wedding!), but this was more demonstrating the technique. If you have a sublimation printer that does larger printouts (like our EcoTank 15000 will print up to 13x17), you can obviously make bigger pieces of fabric. You can also tile designs as well, especially patterns that have a bit more white space. Hope this helps!

Is there a video post showing what you do with such small pieces of fabric?
