query:

i bought flannel fabric to make my prototypes for my stuffed promotional toys, and my dog wound up loving playing with it (it currently resembles a blue teardrop right now, haven't played with silkscreening or embroidery on it). it's perfect for her (mouthsize) but i was thinking about trying my hand at quirky dog toys perhaps. it was just stuffed with fiberfill and i'd sew it via machine instead of by hand, but i was wondering:

is there anything i ought not to put in it/embellish it with? i think if i embroider on them it won't be too bad, but i wondered if silkscreen ink could chip off and be harmful for dogs (due to saliva possibly). perhaps heatsetting textile ink/paint? i figure if i made any beanbag toys i'd have to put it in a sewn up insert. maybe a squeak toy?

just a thought. and now, back to the drawing board for some plotting of quirky dogtoys! :)

hope everyone's black friday was good...
