Miller Fabric papers are amazing and so much easier to use than regular
fabrics. Normally, regular fabric is so limp and wrinkles so easily
that it makes using fabric in your projects very frustrating and not
nearly as fun as what it could be. Michael
Millers fabric "paper" is specifically designed to be used in your
scrapbooks, cards & other paper crafts. They have added a special
finish to the fabrics which stiffens the fabric and gives it the ability
to act just like paper!! It comes in single sheets or coordinating
packages in many many colors, patterns and themes. |

Suitable
for virtually any project you're working on this fabric paper can
be cut with scissors or trimmer, torn & distressed like in this
card you can run it thru your printer, you can
sew it , die-cut it, use rub-ons and acrylic
paints on it, use it with glossy accents, and on
and on. Anything you can do to regular paper you can do to this
fabric. You are only limited by your imagination. The best part
is, it's already stiff ~ no messing with trying to attach flimsy
material to a backing paper like when you try to use regular fabrics

Another amazing thing you can do with this fabric is when heat is
applied to it you can form it. Here is a flower from one of the projects
I worked on that I simply heated & shaped.
It's very easy to work with. All you have to do is shoot the fabric
with your embossing/heat gun for a few seconds (you will notice it
goes limp) then form it into whatever shape you like. For the flower
petals, I folded them into the center, heated them up then let go...they
"opened" like a regular flower then as it was cooling I rolled the
edge of each petal under for an extra bit of dimension. To make the
curly-q's I simply heated then wound the fabric around a paintbrush
handle & held it there till it was cool, or for a looser curl, you
can pull it along scissors just as you would curly ribbon. Simple
as that! |

This fabric
can be used just like any other pattern paper, and comes in great
coordinating & popular color combinations. By using this fabric
paper, you can add so much to your lay-out with the textures & feel
of the fabric, it's amazing how it makes your photos just jump off
the page.

| This
fabric paper is not only great for scrapbooks but many other paper
crafts as well....from creating cards,
to jazzing up die-cuts to making cute
little "purse" cards! I took the purse idea one step further by turning
one into a mini book! By simply punching
a couple holes in the bottom of the purse, inserting a couple Junnkitz
Ringz and adding some pages I made a neat little book that can be
used for notes, signatures, mini photo album, etc. |

By
far though above all the patterns and colors their new tweed line
is my favorite!! This
fabric is amazing! The texture and color it adds to a lo is just amazing.
It's such a touch of class that you don't need alot of embellishing
to make a stunning lay-out.
All in all,
Michael Miller Fabric Papers are a wonderful way to add texture
and interest to everything you're working on. It makes working with
fabrics a pleasure instead of a pain!!
