"I'm more of an idea man, myself..."

Hi,

So I have an upcoming craft project.

It does not involve knitting.

It does involve soiling my lily-white aristocratic hands with the muck of the physical universe.

Here's what I want to do:

I want to take a piece of fabric (here, I'm thinking something sturdy and outdoors-y like canvas) and print a grid pattern on it. Assume I'm making a portable checkerboard (not actually true, but close enough for example's sake). What's an efficient way to do that? Assume that in the Good/Fast/Cheap triad, I pick Good and Fast, but will sacrifice some Good to improve the Cheap.

Go forth, Internet Minons, and bring me answer!

If it's cloth-like, maybe an iron-on transfer. You can print out iron-ons from any printer, then iron it on.

Yeah, my Google-Fu got a bit stronger and I ran across that. I think that's going to be my fall back plan. I feel like iron-on transfers tend to wear off pretty quickly.

Still, it's quick and that's nothing to sneeze at.
