Custom Fabric Printing in the UK and EU (market research)
Posted with permission of

I'm trying to set up a UK based digital textile printing company (I'd also be able to have fabrics delivered to people within the EU) similar to companies like Spoonflower and Fabric on Demand.
I'm currently in the process of applying for business loans and start up grants, but I need some market research to say weather or not people would be interested in a service like that on this side of the world (one of my main reasons for wanting to set this up in the first place is to minimise the postage and possible customs fees people in the EU currently have to pay to order custom fabrics), and having seen how popular Spoonflower and FOD are with Lolitas who make their own clothing, or have small inde brands I decided to ask the EU based Lolitas of the comm for your help in this.
I have a small survey (shouldn't take you more than five minutes to complete) which can be found here
So as not to clutter up EGL, I won't be posting updates here, however if you want to stay informed I will be posting updates to my blog which can be found here (this is my personal blog so not all updates are business related)
Thanks to anybody who takes my survey, and if anybody has any questions please feel free to ask :)
Also I'm cross posting this to a few other communities including sew_loli so I'm sorry if you see this a bunch of times.
