ok. a few questions.

1. solvent transfers - does anyone know anything about these?.. everyone's always talking about them at school and i havent found a method that works... basically waht you do is take something printed out by an inkjet printer, and transfer it onto a different paper, or fabric, or.. something basically by rubbing the back of it with a solvent. so the questions about it are, does anyone know what solvent i should use? or have any advice as far as that goes? i've heard that nailpolish works, but i tried it and it dosent. maybe i was using the wrong kind of paper.

2. does a heavy paper, such as a printmaking paper, go through an inkjet printer? are there any tips/ tricks to getting that to work? and if it does, is the quality of the image disturbed?

3. do any of you buy your fabric online? i jsut got a sewing machine and went frombeing in the suburbs (old lady sewing store heavan) witha car.. to the city.. with extreme cold and walking. so i'm going to try ordering some stuff online. anyways. do you have any suggestions of places wiht a good selection for not outrageous prices? the only places i really know of are jo ann fabrics, and repro depot.. and i'm not too fond of either of those.

thanks alot!
