I have now launched a transfer service that means I can print and transfer your digital photos and send them out to you ready to sew into your projects.

How does it work?

You can order photos up to 21cm (8") on the longest edge via my shop. Each photo costs £1.

I will print the photos for you and transfer these to fabric, ready for you to stitch into your book.

The process is as follows:

• You add the number of photos you want to your shopping cart (eg. 8) on the shop section of this website. You checkout, paying the total plus flat rate shipping charge (you can add other items to your order to save shipping costs).

• You email me the same number of photographs (e.g 8) giving your name or transaction number as reference. You will need to include details of what size you want each one printed - This should be the length of the LONGEST side of each photo. (E.g. 10cm )

• I print all of your photos and transfer them to fabric.

• I mail the photos to you with any other ordered items and some instructions about how to sew in and care for your photos.

Transfer Service FAQs

I don't have digital photos, only original ones. Can you scan them in for me?

Unfortunately photos must be digital and emailed to me. I cannot scan in photos for you. However there is likely a local service that can help you with this - printers, copy shops and even libraries often have scanning facilites.

Can you print A4 size?

No. The largest size you can go to is 21cm x 21cm. This is to keep production manageable and costs low.

Can I stitch over the photos?

No. Unfortunately due to the coating on the transfer, these cannot be stitched into.

I only want small photos, can I get a discount?

I’m afraid not: The price per photograph is set to account for the work it takes me to download, resize, print, transfer and trim each of the images. This takes the same time whether the image is 4cm or 21cm, which is why the price is the same.

Can I only print photographs?

You can order the transfer of any digital files onto fabric, this includes logos, pictures and other scanned images (such as handwritten letters or newspaper cuttings). However you must own the copywrite or permission to reproduce all files.

Where do I need to email my photographs?

You should email your photographs to stitchbookstudio@gmail.com . I will send you an email back to confirm I have received them and let you know if there are any issues with the files. (Sometimes I can’t download them or they are too low resolution for me to print).

What if they are not printed the correct size?

It is up to you to provide me with correct measurements for the final transfers. You need to tell me the measurement of the LONGEST side of the image (see diagram) and I will size the image accordingly to preserve the ratio. I prefer to work in metric (cms/mms) but will except inches if necessary.

If you receive your photos and I have made an error in the sizing I will happily send you another batch.

How many photos do I need for my book?

This depends on the size of your book and the number of pages you have. As a guide, the mini books use 1 photo per page, the medium sized books 1-2 per page and the larger books 2-3 per page. However it really depends on the size and shape of your images and the book. I suggest drawing out a quick page plan to work out where each photo might go in your book.

After payment please send your images to:
