    I'm thinking about getting natural canvas tote bags (a la Miss Sundae) for my OOT bags, and I'd like to Gocco a design onto them.  Has anyone done this, and do you need to use Gocco fabric ink, or will regular ink work just fine? 

    Thanks!

    cupcake,

    You need cloth ink. The regular ones will run and not stay.

    Cupcake,

    Versatex actually sells pretty awesome colors and the inks can be used for cloth/fabric printing with a gocco:

     Be sure to use fixative if you think they might wash the totes (or you can always heat set them, aka iron them)

    :) I plan on gocco-ing totes for our wedding party eventually, I'm just a bit scared to take my gocco out of the box haha.

    Staz On should also work if you don't want to buy a gocco.

    Question: Can all the gocco's print on fabric as long as you use the right ink? Or do you have to have a certain size gocco?

    any gocco should work... i highly recommend gocco brand ink though, i've taken a few risky gambles with other brand inks and not had the best results
