We suggest print to fabric for our Argon 67 fabric instead. This will last much longer and look much nicer:

Would it be safe to tumble dry a quilt made from this fabric on low or no heat? Thanks
Upvote if this was helpful (0) Downvote if this was not helpful (0) Watch Unwatch Flag for removal
Dave Gantz –
Go for no heat. If any hardware gets hot and then sits on the fabric after the drier stops, it may melt the fabric. So be sure to not let this happen.

Yes, this could work. Just know that this is an ultralight fabric and you wouldn’t want to be bushwacking or anything with it.
