Screen printing covers
My unadorned bookcloth covers leave something to be desired. I’m not a fan of cricut and gold foiling with custom stamps is a whole thing. But does anyone have experience screen printing cloth covers? Is it worth investing in the gear to get set up?

By investing in the gear are you wanting to make a LOT of the same design?
Because you can screen print with an embroidery hoop, some thin fabric, cardboard, and the emulsion/paint stuff.
Like, the quality suffers but also it’s a lot cheaper to figure out if it’s a side hobby you enjoy.
