| Well I don't know about the white satin but you could use the MD300
image scanner, and import the image to DECwrite, and print off on
A4 paper or A3 paper... I did this for a band I used to work for
and the results were pretty good...
Depends really what you want, if you would like to see an example,
I have one you could copy (it's postscript). Send me mail...

| 1881.3 | Here's one method | ISLNDS::KELLY | | Wed Jun 27 1990 12:05 | 25 |
| I made a banner like the one you describe. Here's how I did it:
1. Create a design for the logo/design you like. The suggestion
of using DECwrite to generate one seems like a good way to go.
2. If the design isn't full size, make it full size. I drew a
grid of small squares on the original, drew a set of large squares
on heavy paper, and the transferred the image one square at a
time. Laborious but effective.
3. I transferred the full scale templates to the foreground material.
In my case it was black felt.
4. I cut out each letter and tacked it to the background material
using fabric glue (available at the store where you buy the
material).
5. Finally, I used a sewing machine to permanently secure the letters
to the background, and ironed the whole thing.
The banner wound up being about 30inches wide by about 10feet long.
We'd hang it behind the band so that it was a backdrop.
Have fun,
John K.

| I'd suggest checking out a fabric store, an art supply, and a sign
painting supply. I know art supply places have pre-formed letters of
various sizes you can use for making up signs. You might be able to
blow one of these up, use it as a template to cut one out of some
material, and do it that way. It seems like that would be a lot easier
than trying to form the letters by hand, and probably produce much
better results.

| You might trying to use a copier set to enlage to get your business
card print/logo large enough.
You can do amazing things with embrodery(sp) pens and laundry markers
I just had tshirts madefor my studio. A friend of my son airbrushed them.
He did a real nice job. Didn't charge me too much. The hard part was
keeping him from going overboard. I wanted a tshirt...he wanted to do
an album cover.
