Can anyone recommend a place where I can exactly 3"x3" squares that are cotton with my logo screen printed on? I"m using this as a cut and sew element.

Check out on the left hand column of the page under Preferred Vendors.

Are you looking for the fabric size or the screen printer?

I'm not sure where you would get that size t-shirt fabric unless you just cut a t-shirt down to the size you want.

hmm, i'm not sure if you guys are understanding what i need...so i'll explain it in detail (and if someone wants to provide an email address I can send a technical CAD to better show you visually, THANK YOU!)

1. pretty much just a 3"x3" square, cotton. the fabric will have to be bought and cut down to size (3"x3")
2. a screen print of the logo we design (approximating 1.75"H x 2.5W".

This element will than be sewn onto another piece of fabric (that our designer chooses) which will be 3.5" x 3.5" (leaving a 1/2" all around so its not totally covered)

So its a 3"x3" cotton fabric with a screen print, sewed onto ANOTHER 3.5"x3.5" fabric, and once that piece is put together, THAN it gets sewn onto the t-shirt.

LOL....does this help? thank you everyone for your patience!!! ah hah

You may want to look at a fabric store for the material you want. Then get quotes from various screenprinters for printing and cutting. It's less expensive to print a large area of repeating logos, then cut after printing.

We bought and printed like 6000 patches for a large customer in LA recently. They specifically wanted organic cotton. I found a source in Colorado who was super cool and well priced. We bought a 100 yards of this organic cotton and hemp 12oz canvas (we needed 75 yards, but it was actually cheaper to buy 100 and we still have 25 yards). Then we bought a fabric cutter, cut them into 15x15" swatches, ganged up 8 images (rectangular) on a screen, printed all the swatches, then cut into individual patches. This was way more cost effective than purchasing as many shirts as we would have needed and then cut them up, and the 12oz fabric was way more patch friendly, sewing and cutting and whatnot...

Oh yeah, I tried to find precut small patches the size we needed, but couldn't, and all the fabric vendors would not cut them to size, or even to the 15x15" swatches that we wanted. We paid someone $10 an hour to do all the cutting (took about 1 day) and we still made our margin...

Sounds like ForwardPrinting can do what you need Raffie
