Whether you want to add a quirky quote, a custom graphic, or a colorful design, this technique allows you to create vibrant, long-lasting prints on fabric.

For this design, I first had the Silhouette machine sketch out the pumpkin design using an Artesprix Black Fine Tip Sublimation Marker.

I had a lot of fun experimenting with the different sketch fills and designs, so I created several extras too!
